We butchered our chickens today and 2 of the 4 didn't look right at all. The first was a 2yr old red sex link and we noticed a very distended belly. When we cut her open a massive amount of yellow fluid squirted out. There were 3 yolks and her intestines looked like the picture below. She did not act sick at all. She ate she drank and was social. Any ideas? I have tried searching the web but could not find anything that gave pictures of diseases for me to compare.
Another chicken we did was a 3 yr old RIR. Again no symtoms but her insides were for lack of a better term..encased in a membrane and when I cut it open it looked like this
If anyone can help idententify this I would greatly appreciate it. We did not keep the birds but I would like to know what this is so I can maybe prevent it in my next flock.
Thanks in advance for you help.
