One last update: Pepper seems to have fully recovered. She's been living with the rest of the girls for a few days now, and is free ranging normally. No limp can be seen. Thanks for everyone's help!!!

Just wanted to post an update. We let Pepper chicken out for a while this morning between rain showers. When she first went out, there was no visible limp at all. As she stayed out for a while, though, she began to limp. We definitely think it was a less severe limp, though. She was happy...

She is SUCH as sweet heart!!! She looks better this morning. She was ready to come out of the kennel, and also anxious to go outside with her sisters. She's out there now with them, and it looks like her limp is getting better. It's still noticeable, but not as severe. We'll let her be...

Here's a video of me giving her hypericum solution. The video is a little dark, but I think you'll be able to see it. Am I giving it to her right? http://s152.photobucket.com/albums/s171/lindsaywhitelaw/Peppers%20Videos/?action=view&current=100_3247.flv

Edited title. My wife thinks she is getting better. She watched her yesterday more than I did. She didn't stay out long enough to get so tired or sore that she just sat down. We just let her hang out with the other girls for a while and then brought her back in. I'll add another video when...

here's a link of a video we took of Pepper today. You'll have to kinda overlook the goat...she thinks the camera is for her!! Just wanted to post this so y'all could see her walking a little bit to see the symptoms. I kinda had to make her walk so you could see it...

OK, she's out with her sisters now. We'll keep an eye on her and if she gets tired we'll bring her back in. I may video us giving her treatment tonight and post it so you can look at it and make sure i'm doing it right.

OK, I have just got back from running around town all morning getting stuff for our sick little girl. I found hypericum in 300 mg capsules. Your website says to use tablets, but I couldn't find tablets. What I have is 0.3% hypericum, 0.9 mg. I separated the capsule and dissolved the contents...

Quote: Not a problem! No, you can find it for sure are health food stores. It is indeed! Only mix it in a glass/plastic bowl and use distilled water. It can work overnight or take several weeks. It depends on the bird. Treat until she makes no further improvement. But it doesn't hurt to...

Quote: Thanks Courtney! I've got a couple of questions: Is hypericum readily available at feed stores? It is deactivated by skin and metal? How long do I need do treatment for? I'm fixin to google Marek's disease and learn all I can about it! Thanks again!

OK, we have 4 chickens: 2 RIRs (about 2 yrs old) and 2 barred rocks (5 months old). We just got the BRs about a month ago. The reds chase them around and peck them...I assume this to be somewhat normal when introducing new chickens. One of the BRs started limping and generally walking around...
