hate to say congratulations on a broken leg, but given the alternative of marek's i feel this is good news! i know she's in good hands with you taking such good care. two months from now she'll be enjoying the good weather and back on two feet. good luck in the next few days settling into the...

just as a reference, my first pullet lost to marek's went from slightly to completely paralyzed within two days. the second pullet went from looking marginally "off" to actively dying again within two days, but that one was never paralyzed. hope that's helpful and maybe even encouraging. good...

so sorry to hear about olivia's fluid biopsy and probable diagnosis. thinking of you and hoping today was a better day.

so sorry to hear about olivia and her recent health struggles. having just been through similar situations right now with two babies, i understand. for what it's worth and just so you know, i did have my first pullet necropsied after euthanasia at the vet. there were no problems and we did still...

yes! i love it! i'm not the only one who goes all out on chicken care! :) have a great night.

thank you so much! so am i. she was my favorite of my six chickens even though she was newer. super sweet and talkative and always up on my shoulder or in my lap.

just got the necropsy back on our 13 week old pullet who died last week following six days of paralysis. as expected, marek's. sigh. now, i'm just holding my breath. her sister still looks good. but she's only 15 weeks old, we are two weeks after the first one first got ill. so i'm nowhere near...

also, fyi, she was sent off for necropsy to our local vet school. we'll see what we get.

hi all, just a followup in case it is helpful to anyone dealing with marek's. i was watching my crested cream leg bar 13 week old pullet after a probable diagnosis of marek's by our avian vet on monday. sunday (day 1) she presented with paralysis of one leg. by monday it was both legs. i put her...

Hi all, first time poster. Small backyard flock of six. Four are a year and a half old girls, then I have two new pullets age 13 weeks. The new girls, crested cream leg bars, were quarantined eight weeks and introduced to the flock three weeks ago at ten weeks. No signs of disease in anyone of...
