How did you get the head of cabbage inside the whole chicken?

I manage a chicken farm (have for 2 years) and we haven't had this problem .... Yeeeeet?? What a creepy picture. I thought it was lettuce.

It's necrotic muscle tissue. Happens more now with how much shit we feed chickens to grow them oversized

Also referred to as "zombpoultry" ?

Hey, I'm pretty sure this is "green muscle disease" which is like when the "tender" muslce of the chicken kinda rots away

Heartbreaking, animals deserve better living conditions. Especially the ones we’re using for food. They should be honored.
serenityfast
It affects even free range chickens.
SteveTheEgg
Half of it is we bred them to be far bigger than natural. Regular size ones don't get this.
Lance4lot
Why am I not surprised I've never seen this after reading the nickname"Oregon disease" as a European/German? Those chicken are illegal here.
33WhiskeyTX
How could they be illegal, you'd have to cut open every chicken to find it? Dont they sell whole chickens in Europe?
Lance4lot
It's not the result that's illegal but the methods that cause chicken to grow that extremely fast, thus making it even more uncommon
Lance4lot
Also: Europe does not allow the import of American chicken which makes THIS particular chicken illegal in Europe ;)

Worst part is the day after roast chicken day is homemade chicken noodle soup day. And that where it really hurts.

Good to know whatever kfc farms can still grow cysts
DildoRodeo
It can't, it's chopped up chicken(and stuff) that's then mashed back together. There's no way a whole cyst would be in a patty.

Kfc is still pretty gross, tumors or no tumors.

It's ok, you can still be grossed out by KFC, even without that urban legend.

I'm sorry for your loss, but really feel relieved! Whew!
flamingflamingo
Sucky. On the upper hand, KFC's presumably pus-free chicken is back on the menu.
EnzoWDC
Welcome to Amurica where quantity & profit take precedence over quality & decent growing conditions. This is one of the aberrations we get..
KleptoKea
Yeah that's perhaps one reason why American meats like chicken are banned in Europe, New Zealand, etc. We have standards.
serenityfast
It happens even to free range chickens. It's not simply a matter of growing conditions.

Poultry is a constant battle against new disorders and diseases everywhere. Not just US.

This stuff happens everywhere. Like Mad Cow Disease in The UK mid 90s? But I guess it’s in style to say it’s JUST MURICA cause election...

uh-huh and did we push trade negotiations trying to get that meat on to your markets, on your table, to be eaten by you?

Holy shit, the chicken had compartment syndrome. That's insane.
inwyt
Those animals must be in so much pain... A muscle is decaying inside them :(
tomyironmane
I'm sorry, the minute the scientific paper says "necrosis" it becomes pizza night. Thank you for the education, have a nice day.
ihavenocloo
Great read, I'm surprised that wing flapping exacerbates it. I figured more blood flow to the muscles would help!
Kartel
I just learned about this in vet school! The muscles become necrotic and is manifests in this green color of the muscle.
Navrodel
So basically, if the chicken is too active, it can damage its meat, probably because we've bred for unsustainably large pectorals.
keystotheairlock
Thanks!
Lightshadow688
I hate it
Pokegeologist
Article cites unnecessary wing flapping is the cause, yet unnaturally large breast muscles restrict movement and bloodflow. Something's off.
wondersquid
So active chickens with big titties are a high risk group?
Pokegeologist
Seems that way, yes.
Pokegeologist
Granted it's an industry friendly paper and you're not going to say something good for the market is bad for the bird.
jjw9
Aged hemorrhage (internal bleeding). Hemoglobin makes blood red. When the body breaks it down, it becomes green then yellow ...
jjw9
Though unsightly, it poses no threat to anyone eating it. You can see where there are fresh hemorrhages in the surrounding tissue ...
jjw9
The poor chicken did not have a peaceful time in its last few weeks of life. The hemorrhages were caused by the bird flapping its wings to
jjw9
the point of tearing its muscles.
RedWingedBlackbirds
Thank you. I didn't 'want' to know that, but I was wondering if it caused any discomfort to the poor bird.
keysdreamin
Love how the way to prevent it isn't to stop breeding them larger, it's to get them to not flap their wings. Wtf
RedWingedBlackbirds
Amen

Really though its to buy smaller free-range chickens from small farmer brands, not the giant-agroindustrial brands.

Is it healthy to eat, despite the discoloration? I read the article, but it seems to only mention that no one wants to eat cream tenders
hblb229
Had the same question after reading!
pigsearsandtwirlytails
Not if it's okay to eat them.
JBhamMER
Would u eat cooked rotting meat?
Kelerain
https://www.cfs.gov.hk/english/whatsnew/whatsnew_fst/whatsnew_fst_Green_Meat_in_Chickens.html
minipancho94
yea no thats necrotized tissue, aka rotted. while cooked rotted meat is safer to eat than raw, its still rotten and can be toxic. 1/2
minipancho94
bit more detail, the infection risk should be gone, but the bacteria and such have likely made the meat toxic still. 2/2
NickRivieraMD
necrotized and rotted are not the same. It's dead tissue, but if it doesn't tend to affect the health of the bird, that suggests it does>
NickRivieraMD
not typically get infected, because bacterial colonization of necrotic tissue (rotting) leads to septicemia.
NoIdeaWhatToUseHere
You can kill the disease but cannot get rid of the damage it caused via cooking.

Terrifying, but the biggest takeaway was that we're still using "foot candles" as a metric for brightness. (Instead of lumens)
Mellinialfalcon
I believe foot candles is for visible spectrum distance whereas lumens is output intensity
Pokegeologist
Wouldn't lumens per meter or square meter make sense?
Mellinialfalcon
I suppose a metric such as 800 lumens (standard 60w bulb/equivalent led etc) could take the place of the candle on how far can you still see
Mellinialfalcon
Okay so foot candle is one lumen per sq ft and is used cause we Americans are a little antiquated with our foot, miles, inch ect
Arcanum3000
So instead of just breeding for bigger muscles/more meat, we need to engineer scaled-up chickens. Duck-sized, or even turkey-sized!

quicklilrabbit
It is very surprising to come across one in the middle of a shift! It really grosses some people out haha
catsandcoke
No Airsacculitis or IP? Nothing to indicate this is happening inside the bird? That’s crazy.
quicklilrabbit
Yeah, these birds pass through all the way into packaging before being identified as sick. You can typically sort out majority of the “sick”
quicklilrabbit
birds before they pass through evisceration as there are markings to look for on the breast, thigh and on the viscera itself.

You could pull those artichoke hearts out of the chicken and top your pizza with them.

priddyPrincess
I concur... ?

Apparently they’ve been bred to have so much breasts meat that if they move their wings, the extra blood flow cuts off their own circulation
