Notice the intestines?Maybe it's just the lighting, but the heart looks a little fatty. Its been ages since I've butchered a bird more than 6 months old, so maybe that's normal.
That's what I thought but why?Blood clot.
They look fatty and swelled up, but I always withheld food for 12-24 hours before butchering. That's the first full crop I've seen. Overall, I would definitely agree that was not a healthy chicken.Notice the intestines?
I believe that that is the liver.Blob of what?

Kdawg... You did not take too long to use the meat.
Too long would have been all day nutter.
You killed him and within the hour you were cutting him up. That is not too long.
Remember this for the next one.
Good to know! Thank you! That makes sense cause I didn’t process him immediately after killing nor let him bleed out because I didn’t realize I was going to be processing and decided to after (Kiki’s idea actually ) so had time to clot I guess ? Or is that cause of the Mareks? Also normally they bleed out when the head comes off but his would not come off! I tried twice, pulling as hard as I could, because I was worried he wasn’t deadBlood clot.
I started to do that but then it wouldn’t open up and I think I eventually just cut his leg off or something and got in that way.I cut around the anus and reach in through the back side.
