Safe Defrosting:
There are three safe ways to defrost frozen game: in the refrigerator, in cold water, and in the microwave. Never defrost on the counter. Whole birds or ground meat may take 1 to 2 days or longer to defrost in the refrigerator; roasts, several days. Once the raw poultry defrosts, it will be safe in the refrigerator an additional day or two before cooking. Meat and poultry thawed in the refrigerator may be safely refrozen without cooking it first.

I RAN IN TO THE SAME PROBLEM, MY PLUG WAS LOOSE AND THE FREZZER WAS OFF FOR LIKE A DAY, ALL MY MEAT WAS STILL FROZEN & THERE WAS STILL ICE ON THE WALLS OF MY CHEST FREEZER, BUT MY SMOKED SAUGAGE & REGULAR SAUSAGE WAS SOFT. I TOOK THE RE-FREEZING ROUTE.
DO YOU GUYS THINK THE SAUSAGE IS STILL OK?????
