Detrimental part of the ordeal. They
Have all been satisfactory a ctual
Since that date.
No 16 Same locality - X killed today, after
being isolated from the other birds for
36 hours (it being the one that was
able to get out of the pen), had a
rectal temperature of 41.50 C at
4:50 p.m. Leg from fleet at base
of top of mid-toe nail to inner
end of tarsus metatarsus - 128 mm.
On sexing living birds, the incision
must be made between the ribs
right at the posterior end of the scapula
and care must be taken not to cut
dorsal to the uncinate processes
more than 10 mm or kidney will
be damaged. The best incision
would be in the first intercostal
area just anterior to the anterior
most leg muscle. Actually
the best cut would be betw between
the first and second true rib at
the level of the uncinate process.
This bird is a male, with 4
mm testes
No 17 same locality - The bird operated on
Saturday seems to be healing okay, the
skin has a kind of white appearance
around the wound, but it is not
inflamed, at least the temperature
seems to be no higher there than
elsewhere. Caught /B/S this morning
