Subject: There's one dead chicken... And another..
Icky and gruesome doc about a chicken disease that will wipe away your chicken profits if you don't use sulfaquinoxidine! Plenty of diseased chickens are shown for our amusement. What really gets this film going though are the scenes of chicken guts for us to see. Sometimes a forceps will go in and split an oozing vein in half to let us see the pulpy blood clots! Sometimes they don't use forceps at all! They just dig right in, with their fingers and start ripping things apart! Yeeehah!!!
