Help! Dead Chick with Gaping Vent!! **WARNING GRAPHIC PIC**

[MysteryChicken]

It is the vent.

It is hard telling for sure with the picture. Reason I was asking.

@MysteryChicken has a valid point. Often, when we post a photo here, we neglect to provide context. This means that it helps to include something in the photo besides the subject that helps us understand what we're seeing in relation to the whole chicken or even just to help us judge the size of the subject.

In this case, it helps to not only show a closeup of the wounded body part, but to show another photo of the whole chick in relation to the wounded body part so we can place the wound in the context of the whole chick.

In the case of a small subject like a chicken poop, it helps to show a ruler next to the poop for size, and also try to put the poop on a contrasting background for more clarity.

In other words, our brains need clues as to what we're seeing since we are not able to view the subject in three dimensions. More times than not, extensive word descriptions are necessary in addition to a photo in order for us to understand what were seeing.
