Merek

post #1 of 3
Thread Starter 

We had to put our chick dwon today. She had Merek, I kept her in a cage by herself in the coop but I am afraid she might have infected the others. They are not showing any signs but how long does it take to maifest itself. We have 2 roosters we want to sell but now we are afraid to.  Any suggestions?

I think one of mine has that too, but I really don't know. I don't think he does, I think he just has a birth defect. I do know signs are paralysis in the leg, wing, and neck, also with reduced egg laying. No signs in mine, good luck with yours.

I would send your bird in for necropsy to make sure that is what it was. I am sorry for your loss.
