I fed mealworms to my little peachick and he came down with marek's symptoms the next day. I swear it was the mealworms. We ended up having to put him down. RIP little pea chick.
This is Clinton, a Craigslist rescue we got 4 months ago that had so many feathers missing and pecked skin you couldn't even tell he was a roo. Look how healthy and happy he looks now. :) Clinto loves watching over his flock of 11 ladies and has a wonderful temperament.
Can anyone please help...
