@tamberlin I am so sorry to hear another peep is down. I wish there was something I could offer. There is not. Sebrights are particularly susceptible to Marek's. Even my vaccinated one succumbed. (I am assuming that they actually ARE vaccinated when you order them.) I have just done our...

Quote: I wish we could just wish him better. So sorry for this. I am always so sad to hear of someone else suffering along with this dread disease. Our best to you and your birds!!!!

I have 40+and all are named. I tend to do them in themes. We started with the Disney Chicks, Snow White, Pocahontas, Perdita & Pongo, Cruella Deville, etc; and a pair, Aurora & Borealis; then precious metals, Silver, Steely, Platinum, Goldie, etc; now we also have the "Jewel" girls...

I now get only vaccinated chicks and I should mention I only have Banties. I ordered with 3 friends last May a total of 45. Of my 16 vaccinated chicks, only the Silver Sebright developed typical progressive symptoms along with 2 other chicks that were incubator hatched and gifted to me at the...

Just so you know, I did let her rest in a nest every night for the night to take pressure points off of her. I also switched the heights so different amounts of pressure was on their legs. And for underneath.... an open junk magazine works well. Poop,...... turn the page.

I'm afraid it appears to be Mareks, but never can be absolutely sure. If it is will progress to paralysis. I have had no success in any treatment, but I have made sure to keep them comfortable with food and water within reach. I have brought my sick birds inside and made slings for them so...

OK. 4 pics of slings and hovercraftI made for my sweet bantam hens that were paralyzed by Mareks. Hovercraft from gallon milk jug and padding added inside for keel and leg holes Sling from cotton anklet sock. The heel is her chest rest, toe is cut out for her butt and slots cut for wings...

Thank you so much for the repost on colloidal silver. I will try it with my next peep that gets Mareks. I hate to even say this because it is heart wrenching to think of another case. FWIW 2of my little hens were in need of baths due to poop plastered on their butts before I developed slings...

I brought all sick or suspected of coming down with it, acting logy, etc, inside as soon as I noted them acting a bit "off". I had at one time 3 birds inside, all in separate boxes with feed and water, but usually only 1 at a time. 5 I treated with Hypericum but all died, eight total that had...

You need to get the tablets at a health food store. Please keep us posted as to the results. I do not want to discourage you, but both myself and a friend dutifully followed the directions with the hipericum tablets, using distilled water and being careful to not touch the tablets to...

See page one of this topic. First post. It explains it all.

I have started her on Amoxicillin, but it seems more swollen today. I think it is most likely related to Mareks. SO sad. I have lost one vaccinated pullet, a Silver Sebright, in her group of 16 from Mareks with all the typical paralysis and splayed legs. Thank you for the reply.

I have lost a vaccinated Silver Sebright with typical Mareks paralysis progression and 3 other non vaccinated pullets, so I do know I have this virus. But now one of my vaccinated Ameraucana banty pullet was favoring a leg 4 weeks ago, which turned into limping the following day and then lame...

Thank you so much for responding! I am so happy! I have wanted a mottled OE or Japanese and it looks like my nearly identical B&W new chick will be like your pretty boy! Although I am hoping for a girlie girl! Thanks again! MyPetPeeps

Did you (or anyone else) ever discover what the black and white clean legged mystery chick was??? I have one just like it from Ideal and have no clue what she is.

New here, and first post. I was wondering if anyone has had success in using this Hypericum treatment (a pill dissolved in 1 T water and 5-10drops 2X/day) for Mareks other than the poster. Last year I lost 2 from Mareks (typical paralysis symptoms) and so kept my new babies from an incubator...
