Chicken Anatomy

[eggcetra_farms]

Forgive me if anyone has posted something similar before, but after reading a couple different posts I thought this might be helpful.

Pictures of a chicken's anatomy

Interior view:

Exterior view (not that great a picture, hopefully you can tell what it says):

If anyone has any other useful items, post them. I just thought this is good basic info. I'll look for any other helpful pictures.

Ok, the second picture came out smaller than what it showed in the preview, so if you'd like to see a larger version please visit http://www.blackforestpoultry.com/howto.html and go about 1/3 down the page. There are also other pictures that may be of use on the site.

Very informative thank you.

I've been reading a lot about different comb types but I don't know what they all look like. Is there a thread or site somewhere that has examples of them all?

A lot of the links no longer work. How about checking them out and updating them.
