    Marek’s disease?

    So I recently noticed one of my hen’s eyes was cloudy and smaller than her other one. I’m pretty sure she’s blind in that eye and I’m leaning towards ocular mareks… right now she is running around acting normal otherwise.

    Possibly Respiratory Illness, am I on the right track?

    Hello, everyone! On May 11th I introduced a chick born around March 10th into one of my brooder pens. I made a rookie mistake and didn’t quarantine her before placing her with my other chicks (and several turkey poults) that range in age from 4 weeks to 8 weeks. At the time, the chick I...
