    This document describes normal air sacs in chickens. It explains that air sacs are thin membranes distributed throughout the body that should be transparent in healthy birds. After death, the membranes may become slightly cloudy. In over-conditioned birds, fat may be present on the air sac membranes. Inflammation can cause thickened, opaque membranes or fibrin deposition, and fluid, foam or exudate can accumulate between the membranes.

    Clinical Description
    The air sacs are thin membranes distributed throughout the body. In a fresh healthy bird, air sacs should be transparent but, as seen
    here, the membranes will become slightly cloudy after death. In over-conditioned birds, fat may be present on the air sac membranes.
    Inflammation of the air sacs can result in thickened membranes, opacities, or fibrin deposition. Fluid, foam, or exudate can accumulate
    between the air sac membranes.
