We have a lot here too... My brother got it.. He had broke his leg and shortly after that he was in extreme pain and couldn't move or walk.. Brought him in and he had lymes disease as well..
Our state vet said all birds carry Mareks some just don’t express it. I haven’t and don’t know of anyone who has ever had a bird get Mareks from a show. A lot of these show flocks are resistant to it. We all practice vigorous culling and the second a bird get sick they go. It’s a good way to...
