    Pale comb on rooster

    He is very listless. Not eating much, does not crow, his tail feathers are drooping. We have had to put 3 hens down because of Mareks. Do you think this is the first sign of it's return. I do not want him to suffer. His comb in very pale and droopy.

    How long do I have to wait to sell one of my roosters that has been exposed to Mareks. He is not showing any symptons. And are the eggs safe to sell from the hen's that have been exposed.
