Hi everyone, I would like to know if St John Wort is effective to treat ocular marek's (The case of the grey/iregular shape iris). 2 out of 3 of my chickens have it and they all seems to be wasting away at the moment. I really hope that st John wort would help? Thank you.

Thank you for the tips regarding brewer's yeast :-D As for the eye, it wasn't like that when I got her last year (she was about or just under 1 year old then) so i'm quite positive that it wasn't a defect from birth.. in case they have ocular Marek's, does anyone know how long do they have...

Thank you all so much for your help. I'm still crossing fingers hoping for the best but would send her for necropsy if she dies.. How long does it take for a hen to die from Marek's, counting from the day she starts showing symptoms? Does it count by days/weeks or months? Thank you. Pinky is...

One of our hens is sick and I don't know what to do, please help me. I'm sorry I'm double posting but the thread I posted with images needs to get approval and I am in an emergency (or so I think) so I'm posting this first and will delete when I got approval on my original thread. Thank you for...

One of our hens is sick and I don't know what to do, please help me. Some Backgrounds: This is the first time I have chickens and I don't know much but have been learning as much as possible through Backyard Chickens and the Internet. We bought 3 chickens from a workmate since around...
