How did she do? My chicken is having similar symptoms

she is also moving her head around in weird ways like she is on some weird medicine and can't stand straight. She is eating and drinking and going to the bathroom normally and really wants to be with her mother hen. Although I am afraid she has Marek's and will get the others sick.

So the good news is that she is alert and awake. She is eating a LOT and wants to walk around in her small quarantine box, but ends up falling over on her back. Then she is unable to get up. I hope it isn't Marek's and that my other birds are safe. Also I don't want her to suffer.

Thank you very much!

Thank you so much!

Hello- My adorable and otherwise extremely healthy 3 wk old chick (1 of 3) suddenly is limping, falling over as she tries to move as usual. She obviously hurt her leg somehow and is off balance even in the large cardboard box with hay and food/water I keep them in most of the time with their...

Hello All, My 2.5 month old pullet (Cuckoo Maran) had a bubbly eye so I brought her inside to get out of the heat and to quarantine her. I have 3 other pullets (a Wyandotte, Easter Egger and Speckled Sussex) living with their adoptive mother (a loving black silkie hen). I also have two...

I feel awful that my 2 adult birds seem to have the avian pox. My beautiful, (formerly very healthy golden laced wyandotte with bright red comb and wattle) has her comb covered in raised black spots and white ones on her now paler wattle. The bantam frizzle has stopped laying eggs and is...

My boyfriend and I are newbie chicken owners. We treat them as pets, and eat their eggs. They free range part of the time and live in a secured coop and run while we are not around. We have a black bearded silkie, golden laced wyandotte, red frizzle bantam, and 4 new chicks (Cuckoo Maran...
