Yup! She's so complacent, mine struggle like crazy when I give them meds.

Ah, I could have sworn that I commented. I guess not. Well, she looks pretty good. That actually looks more like an injured limp than a Marek's limp. But I'd have to handle her in person to tell for sure. Keep treating her. The hypericum will help either way.

Julie - Marek's Disease is found in the soil, so most birds have it but only a few birds get sick. It's safe to assume that your other birds got it a long time ago. If, by some rare chance, they weren't exposed, the incubation period for Marek's Disease is two weeks; that's the earliest they...
