    Mereks disease? Why does this keep happening to me?

    Yesterday I noticed my 6 month old rooster walking funny and my heart sank. Now today he can’t walk. This is my fourth rooster this year that I’ve lost to what I have been assuming is mereks. They are fine and completely healthy one day and then lame in one or both legs the next. All of them...

    This is awful, one of my grandmas silkie hens has a severely infected vent. It smells terrible and I don’t know how long it’s been like this.
