Is this a tumor in the Galbladder? GRAPHIC PICS

[BooBear]

Hope I am posting in the correct place. This has GRAPHIC PICS that may gross out viewers.

While butchering a young 15 1/2 week old cockeral I pulled out an irregular shaped gall bladder and am not sure if we should be using this guy for food.
The intestines are puffy too. I did not fast him for the full 24 hrs so some of this is digesting food?

Could this be a tumor in the gall bladder? For the size bird (small) this thing took up the majority of his lower cavity. Instead of a round shape it is more oyster shaped and very hard. All the other organs looked healthy.

I put him in a ziplock bag in the fridge as we want to find out if anyone can tell us if this is healthy or not.

That dark red purplish thing? Thats the gizzard.

I don't see a gallbladder? should be greenish bag near the liver.

Oh I thought it was the gall bladder. Yeah I am a noob. But is this normal?
The last 2 cockerals I butched looked nothing like this.

That is a gizzard. Cut it open, clean the inside and deep fry. Deee-licious!!
