I suspect it will be fine. In some countries hunters hang their ducks and geese not in a heated area for days before plucking and gutting them. Not my cup of tea but they claim it makes them more tender. I have a friend who ages his doves in the vegetable drawer of his beer refrigerator for a week before he cleans them. He claims it improves the flavor, he has done it for years and he is still healthy.
