Chicken Smarts

post #1 of 4
Thread Starter 

When you post that your chicken is sick or whatever reason, you should know the body parts your bird.  I have decided to gather diagrams for anybody who is interested, or wants to practice chicken body parts. 

 

I've seen posts like these:

 

"Where's the crop on my bird?" 

 

"....crawling up a bump near the tail feathers...."

 

 

 

 

 

700<---- Uropygial Gland/oil gland

 

700<---- Skeletal Diagram

 

700

 

 

 

1000Inside your hens' body

 

 

 

1000 Inside an egg. 

 

 

 

 

I hope this will help some of you!

 

Enjoy your day
