Why are my meat birds dying? (GRAPHIC)

This has been educational for me. Thank you for posting AND for the photos.

I totally knew there would be "gore" when I read the title.

Yeah, they made like a... barking sound sometimes. I'll see if I can record it and show you guys. It's not all the time, but when I looked it up it sounded like that may be a sign of a parasite in their throat. But, I didn't see a thing. I looked at every nook and cranny of their throat and saw nothing that looked out of the ordinary.

I looked up that very question when Wyorp Rock and Isaac 0 explained about the Ascites. Apparently, it's not an illness or disease, it's a condition. And it's perfectly safe to eat. Do you guys agree?

A video of that would be good.

Since you are sending these birds for processing, let the processor determine whether they are safe to eat or not. They should be inspecting them.

You are right. Ascites is a symptom, didn't say it was a disease. It can be symptom from disease or some other condition.

I agree, they have Ascites.

Oh, I wasn't trying to say you did. :O

Yeah, I am definitely going to listen to them. Thank you!

Hm... I looked up the yellow liquid and it talked about an enlarged heart too here: http://www.omafra.gov.on.ca/english/livestock/poultry/facts/13-063.htm I wonder if this is what happened?

That is what I think.
