In the U.S., lung adhesions usually do not occur on fowl; hence the 
rest of this discussion concerns only meat, not 
chicken.<http://www.kashrut.com/articles/glatt/#3>3

3. The lungs of fowl can have defects that render it treifa, but not 
the same kind of adhesions that occur in animals. There are those who 
feel that nowadays fowl lung problems are also becoming more 
prevalent and thus require a visual and tactile inspection of fowl 
lungs (Rav Moshe Sternbuch, Tshuvot v Hanhagot 2:369).
