I posted on this thread almost 3 yrs ago when I first discovered my chickens had Marek’s. I would like to tell you the whole story, what I have been through, and what I hope the solution is. I am not a vet or even an expert. I’m just someone who has been going through chicken hell for 3 yrs...

Glad to hear they are doing better. I haven't lost anymore at this time. I also ordered and planted some hypericum seeds. Maybe adding this live plant now and then to their diet will also help.

This is the original post from MoodyChicken. Do what she says because that's what I did. This isn't an emergency, just a helpful tidbit of information to help. Despite what you may have heard, there IS a cure for Marek's Disease. It is a homeopathic remedy called "Hypericum." Hypericum...

I looks like it to me. Mine walked like that and they drooped their wings like that. But they had good appetites and would drink their water. Oh, their poop was a runny bright green. I would try the St. John's Wort.

I am using St. John's Wort which is hypericum. Purchased it at Walmart. Doing every thing that we were told to do in the first post of this thread. 2 tbls of distilled water, 1 caplet, mixed it in a glass bowl with a plastic spoon. put in chickens mouth with a plastic suringe and made sure...

I have also lost several. And it is also my first adventure with chikens. Yes it is in the dirt. From what I have read it's just there. Kind of like Staff is just there. You didn't do anything wrong and don't give up. In my case I have seen a diffrence since I have removed the water pan...

Last Sunday morning I went to check the chickens and a hen was having problems walking and one wing was drooping. I grabbed her up and took to the house. She was eating and drinking just fine. Gave her a dose of St. John's Wart. By that night she was doing great. No limp. No drooping wing...

Ok. Thanks. In the pullets case she never did get better. I will for sure remember that for "God please no" next time.

It's has been 4 weeks and I have started loosing chickens again. Went to gather eggs and there was a dead pullet in the nest box. She looked like she just went to sleep and died. I have been watching them closely looking for more Mareks signs and she wasn't showing any the day before. I...

I put my young chickens in their new coop. Within a few days one here and then 2 weeks later one there started dyeing. I thought it was and it still may have been the heat. They would be fine during the day and the next morning dead. One morning I went out and a pullet was acting sick. I...
