I’m so sorry you dealt with that, I have 20 birds most 2 years or older. I’m hoping them being older will make them more resilient. I am attached to all of them and I can’t imagine loosing them all
Mine have the ocular symptoms and the paralysis. It’s incredibly scary, I remember the first year of chicken ownership I would read about Mareks, it was such a big fear of mine. Now that’s it’s a real part of my life it’s even scarier.
Thank you for the links. There’s so much information about Mareks one being how they will be fine (with a couple of losses) while other saying that you should cull them all. I love them so much and I don’t want anything bad to happen to them
Still falling, she sorta balances herself on the side of the cage. I don’t want to make her a sling because I feel like that would stress her out. When I’m not supporting her when she’s outside of the cage she flaps around and falls. Her toes where never curled, idk if that means anything. I’m...

I’m so sorry for all the questions, does age have an affect on the bird and their health. Most of mine are between the ages of 2-3 the oldest being 6/7 and the youngest being 6 months. The youngest was raised by my silkie who passed away so she has an incredibly special place in my heart. The...
No, she still moves her legs up and down. She flops on the side sometimes but for a while would just walk backwards. I’m taking her to the vet this week, going to make an appointment tmr they are close this week
It was just B12 for a while, I don’t think the other women gave her anything else. I’m giving her vitamin b complex now. I’m so scared for my other hens.
I haven’t had her for super long, she went from stumbling back to now flopping on the floor with me but I believe she wasn’t getting the right vitamins for some time. If it is Mareks should I treat her and return her to the original flock. I don’t want to put my other girls are risk but I don’t...
