Day 1 of Decomposition of Chicken Little
Chicken started to show signs of skin discoloration. The skin showed a beige color at the bottom with reddish discoloration near the right side of it. Maggots were infested in all the orifices of the chicken, with maggots of 1.5mm in length and flies at 1 cm long. The chicken right wing bine started to show just a little bit. The orifices infested with maggots were expanded due to the maggots eating away at the flesh. The Weather was: 77*F, Light Breeze, Partly Cloudy but sunny. 66% Humid -
