Found some kind of necrosis after harvesting

[Wyorp Rock]

I haven't seen anything like that. It's interesting though.

@Ridgerunner @Molpet @Geena how about Ya'll?

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

Hmm. Maybe my dad knows what it is? He’s butchered lots of deer, bobcats , bear, ducks, and probably many other things.

 

[Shabby Chic-Hens]

I showed it to my dad, and he said it was a cancer growth .

Thanks for all the responses. Looks like most replies think its injury related. I'm glad nobody said anthrax or flesh eating bacteria. It was a little perplexing that the only symptom he had, was being kicked out of the flock. I kept finding him roosting near my house or in an empty coop he previously occupied.

It looks like a blunt trauma injury based on the dermal staining of the cut away, and swelling with shadowing on the left upper edge..prob would be easier to see if it was rotated a bit clockwise. Large hematomas in subcutaneous tissue is slow to breakdown and reabsorb or expands with continued bleeding.
I can imagine with such an injury he would be a bit lame at the least. poor guy had a rough time. so sorry!

That's the word I was looking for! Blunt force trauma!

Winner winner, chicken dinner!

 

[Molpet]

looks like a hematoma I drained from a cats ear ,,,result of fighting

 

[Geena]

No, I've never seen anything like that. My best guess would also be an injury that resulted in a hematoma, but it must have been quite some time ago since there's no bruising that I can see.

 

[Ridgerunner]

No, never saw anything like that. There is one other person I can think of to ask. I think @casportpony might be interested and might have an answer.

One thing comes to mind: Did you or your neigbours lay out mice or rat poison lateley?


"Anticoagulant Rodenticide Poisoning in Poultry

Acute pulmonary and peritoneal hemorrhage, after consuming...

Courtesy of Dr. Robert Porter.


Rodenticides can be safely applied to poultry houses so that rodent baits are sequestered from the flock; however, careless application can result in rodent bait consumption by poultry with usually acute toxic effects. First-generation anticoagulant rodenticides, including warfarin, chlorphacinone, diphacinone, and coumtetralyl, require continual ingestion by rodents to induce toxic effects. Second-generation or single-feed anticoagulants, including brodifacoum, bromadialone, difenacoum, and difethialone, can be acutely fatal to rodents.

Clinical signs in poultry are related to the anticoagulant effects and usually observed as sudden death with gross hemorrhagic lesions in one or more body sites, particularly lung, intestine, and peritoneal cavity. These lesions can be confused with flight injury (gamebirds) and trauma from wild animals and dogs. Definitive diagnosis of anticoagulant toxicosis should be based on gross lesions, history of anticoagulant application, and anticoagulant screen on the liver of dead birds (available at several USA veterinary diagnostic laboratories)."
