Title: Hen Pintail, Has anyone seen this before?
Post by: LeftCoastLoren on January 14, 2013, 06:27:48 PM: When I opened up this hen to breast her out I found these white worm like things. Is this Fat?, a Parasite? Something else I may not have thought of?

Post by: Goldeneye on January 14, 2013, 06:34:01 PM: It's called Rice Breast (Sarcocystis). Yes, it is a parasite. You can supposedly eat them when thoroughly cooked. I never have been able to do that though.

Post by: h2ofowlr on January 14, 2013, 06:43:57 PM: I have shot probably a dozen birds with this over the last 5 years. It is a parasite as mentioned. I won't eat one as I am not willing to be the guinea pig.

Post by: Maverick on January 14, 2013, 10:36:03 PM: I've never shot one with rice parasite so big! I don't eat them. Did the duck a favor shooting it.
