This is when you have to tag. If they're yours and in your ice chest you should be good as long as you aren't over possession limit.

"No person shall give, put or leave any migratory game birds at any place or in the custody of another person unless the birds are tagged by the hunter with the following information: 1. The hunter’s name and signature. 2. The hunter’s address. 3. The total number of birds involved, by species. 4. The dates such birds were killed. Tagging is required if the birds are being transported by another person for the hunter or if the birds have been left for cleaning, storage (including temporary storage), shipment or taxidermy services."

Pretty sure the bolded part is the law I broke verbatim.

Next time clean them.

No person shall completely field dress any
migratory game bird (EXCEPT mourning
doves, white-winged doves and band-tailed
pigeons) and then transport the bird from
the field. The head or one fully-feathered
wing must remain attached to all such birds
while being transported from the field to
one’s home or to a migratory bird preservation
facility.
