Those are actually the testicals that seem to be attached to the back with super glue. The kidneys and lungs come out pretty easy.

Nope the testis are easy to come out, its the lungs that are withing the wall

Okay cool so I was right so yeah the lungs and the kidneys but mostly just the kidneys.

It's the testicals that I have trouble with. Every single time. There have been times that I just left them stuck to the back.

that's so funny BC according to the diagram Sally posted it's certainly the kidneys giving us trouble up by the spine. I thought the color seems more like a kidney color than testis

Chicken testicals are shaped like human kidneys. They are attached to the back between the lungs and the kidney. They are usually a creamy white color, but may sometimes be black. Chickens only have one kidney, by the way.

I had to unplug my incubator, I couldn't get the temp below 114. I'm going to let it cool off, then try again and see if my husband can help me turn it down.

You suuuure you are turning temp dial the right way? Pics?

I, ummm, kinda turned it the wrong way for a bit when I first started. So I know.

@Sally Sunshine New roof and new nest boxes. Boxes are mounted in coop now but roof isn't on yet. Weather today was not conducive to putting up a roof.

Me too! I was showing one to my sister and the tiny thing was wiggling around. It was so cool. Mine are 8 days.
