Gizzard cleaned out. This is a very solid thing. The walls are solid muscle so that they have the power to grind the food up. The ridges are hard and leathery in texture. Yellow colour must be from the Gall bladder secretions.

Blood supply to the duodenum clearly visible. This is where most of the digestion occurs. The pancreas ( the flatter bit between the two main tubes) secretes enzymes to help digestion.

Crop pulled out slightly. You can see where the paler connecting tube goes through into the body cavity. This connects to the Proventricular. I removed the crop so that I could then open the body cavity

Cloaca deflated and cut open. The oviduct joins into here. Both faces and eggs come out of the same hole. Only poop in this one today.

Both Ceca. These are blind ended tubes that are at the end of the bowel that digest any left over food and the large intestine at the join of the two removes any excess water. This is where the foul smelling yellow poop comes from!
