Great picture!

I’m quite surprised that it came out that well considering I took it with my phone.

Excellent example of one that would score a zero or a one on the body score scale. Did the chick live?

I don’t know. My boss said that someone came in and bought all the chicks she had.

How about videos?

Good deal. I shall try.

Spoiler: Chick Autopsy

The pics are not labeled, but are very clear.
With viscera still intact. Good shot of esophagus, crop, breast, gizzard, abdomen.

Good view of liver and maybe the duodenal loop? The bottom of the breast is lifted up showing the bottom tip of the heart. I’m not sure what the green spot is on top of the abdomen.

Better shot showing the huge gizzard.

Lifted the liver up showing the gall bladder (dark green).

The breast is removed showing the little triangular heart. The yolk filled abdomen had started coming out of the visceral lining.

I didn’t get a picture of the trachea, which is cool looking/feeling, or of the organs laying underneath: kidneys, lungs.

Excellent pictures. How old was the chick?

The chick did not hatch. I opened it on the “23rd” day of incubation. Last movement seen during candling was Day 18.

I'll have to dig through my pictures and see what I have that might be useful for reference.

Not so proud of it, but here are bubbles in the eye resulting from ILTView attachment 1694814Eye discharge from ILT flare up

Are those your chickens? If so, sorry you're dealing with that I know it's a disease that must be reported, and here in VT I know someone who had it and the government had to come out and destroy their whole flock. If you had to go through that, I'm sorry.
