Autopsy of a little chick. Autopsy pictures caution. Please help!

I renew the question, if these two white dots that I always see in the ill chicks have an interpertation?

IBD "Gumboro" can not be recognized here. There are no signs of bursitis inflammation here.

Are there other ideas than IBD "Gumboro"?

I think that might be what's called the Meckel diverticulum

I have a heat lamp, but I can not use it continuously, because the electricity there "Gaza, southern Israel" goes on and off in 8 hours cycle, and so i have to use a Battarie that does not live long.

By the way, I thank the Akrnaf for his helpfulness. The unreachable neighbor in the same country. I guess I will never be able to see him. It separates us borders and much more. What a crazy world. We are very close but very far. I was hoping to be able to hug him and everyone in my arms, except that these are only dreams of a child. A lot has happened. The question is if man can walk over his wounds, the answer has a bitter taste.

I wish you the best Akrnaf, you probably can not do anything for what determines our world.

Sorry that I have deviated something from the topic. Would be good if we stick with it.

Wow! This was a very enlightening post. I'm sending hugs both for the chicks & the everyday trials you are living with.

I wish I knew what those polyps were. Have all of the chicks that died had that?

Yes, the picture is up to date and they are all still alive. They will live with heat for a long time. They are getting more and more lean and becoming very weak. Then in any cold they die quickly.

Can you check their butts and remove the poop stuck to them?

All 6 chicks that I have autopsied had similar stains, yes.

Have you taken care of the poop stuck to the butts yet? It needs to come off, carefully.

 

[Ramouila]

Currently there are 12 sick chicks, only one of them has the poop. I could easily remove it now, it is dry. The pasty butt is not the typical symptom of those.

Have you tried contacting your Ministry of Agriculture? They have divisions in both the north and south and do offer poultry testing. Their services are typically for larger operations but they might be able to assist an independent flock. It’s worth contacting them and asking at least. It would be reasonable to cull a chick or two to get a definitive diagnosis, especially given the possible infectious nature going through your chicks.
