My chicken is still the same, she is better than she was and can get up and walk around now,she eats and does everything fine but you can tell shes not 100% she still kinda wobbles sometimes. I dont know what she had or has or weather it was Mereks or not, weve been going through this for months now.How is your chicken doing now Teaton? I didn't watch the video, but I think it is hopeful if she is eating and not getting any worse.
On a side note, I have had a few of my vaccinated chicks come down with Marek's symptoms. Ironically, 3 were cockerels and only one was a pullet. The first cockerel was lethargic and wouldn't eat. He died around 5 months of age. The other 3 showed signs of leg paralysis starting at 2 - 3 months. They all got worse to the point that I thought about culling them. However, they were eating and hanging out with the flock, so I kept them alive. I made sure to feed them berries and other foods full of antioxidants. One cockerel had leg and wing weakness so bad that he would fall onto his back and couldn't turn back over.
After about 4 week they all recovered. I still have 2 of the 3 and they are just like normal chickens (the third one became soup). Somehow the vaccine gave them enough immunity to fight off the virus and survive. Unfortunately they are all still carriers.
