Have a leghorn down resting on her hocKS this morning. Has lameness in one leg. This isn't normal if it's cocci is it? I can't find any info that says lameness is a sign.

Not a sign of coccidiosis.

No, she was not. Isn't the mortality rate high for mareks? I keep going back to mareks and then thibring no ..the only other bird to show lameness is still alive and doing well although still hobbling. The polish who never showed signs of anything but being lathargic died. Now the leghorn seems fine except she can't walk well. No grey eyes or anything. They don't even look sick. I'm so confused.

Quote: If mortality were high I would have dead birds all over the place. Marek's eye aren't always gray. Here's and example:




Can you post a video of the leghorn?

Do u upload different from an image? I don't have a video of the leghorn, but I do have one of the mille when she first went down. She acts normal now. But not so much then.

Marek's can present itself in a number of ways and sometimes not even symptoms but just sudden death so there may be no eye issues nor lameness.

The next time one dies, be ready to send it off for a necropsy. You have lots of options in Texas.
I'm sending a bird this afternoon to Mizzou vet school.

Well the cocci treatment did nothing. I guess it's time to acknowledge that I have a Marek's flock.
