    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    I don't disagree Nambroth. That was exactly my point. With the popularity of backyard chickens growing by the day and Because there are so many with infected flocks that are selling - and no way to stop them - new flocks are infected daily. Some know what they are doing, others have no idea...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Just my $.02 - mareks is already everywhere! Spread, among many ways, in incidents just as you all have mentioned. If any chicken keeper has ever been to a public store/farm to buy food for their chooks, they've aleady exposed their flock. And that's a fact. You can no more take credit or blame...

    quote name="Nambroth" url="/t/741957/not-an-emergency-mareks-in-the-flock/1320#post_12197085"] Activated Oxine is just fine! Go to town with it, and let everything air out well. It's important to get the dander and dust more than anything. That's where Marek's lives in the greatest quantity...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    I did just lose one older bird from the big coop, but I think it was totally unrelated. I believe she broke her neck. We had a fox visit and though they are safe, they do tend to freak out with unexpected visitors and I think in her flurry to run she flew hard into the hardware cloth. I have...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Thank you Nambroth! My big coop has no birds with active symptoms. So if Move my remaining teenagers there it sounds like it wouldn't be much different than their current exposure. I will then Oxine (cos I just bought it and can't afford another chrmical) the teenager coop. Leave it empty for...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Well, I just now got the final report from the Dept if Ag lab. Although the vet previously said there was nothing to show mareks, the final report lists mareks are the primary cause. Cocci as well. Evidently they did additional testing after al my phone calls. I have 3 others that I was told...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    I bring them to the Dept of Ag lab closest yo me. I wasn't thrilled with the vets inexperience with chickens. But then I found he had each one transported 3 hoirs to the vet that specializes in chickens. He definately knows his stuff. He said he gets unexplained necropsies from time to time. My...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Si Jennifer - I kind of got to thinking of that.  You are basically injecting them with more disease.  But, the doctor said it can help.  I don't know what to think. I decided to have my silkie put down today.  Her legs were front out and back out and with the weird neck thing yesterday I...

    Y Yes the higher Cored dosage seemed to help, but i guess the 2 were too badly damaged to make a comeback. I am beginning to dread going out to the one coop anymore. Now this morning, there is blood in the stool of one girl again and she is beginning to have a limp. o treated them for 14...

    I have lost 3 more birds in the last 2 weeks. None of the necropsies show mareks, though they've all but 1 shown the wobbly walking, stepping on their own toes, etc. and the wasting. 2 teenagers and also one older hen that had been vaccinated. She, however showed no symptoms at all, and her...

    Not an Emergency...Marek's in the Flock

    Can you I had to call him to complete my order.  He said internet explorer usually works, I was using chrome.  They have issues with it.  I didn't do vaccines yet, I will probably have to wait until tomorrow when I can get some help holding them.  It's easy enough on my 2 inside, but the real...

    I ha I have way less experience than most here, but wouldn't it be possible to try to rehome them to someone else with confirmed mareks? Are they all showing symptoms, or just carriers?

    Wow , Wow! Thanks so much for all that info. I wasn't questioning what you all were saying about the does I was giving being to weak. As I said those directions came from 2 seperate vets. I think there is some confusion out there in the chicken world as the package is labeled for calves not...

    quote name="seminolewind" url="/t/741957/not-an-emergency-mareks-in-the-flock/1140#post_12093243"] Not right to me either.  I've heard this 1/4 tsp dose as well, and always thought it was a teaspoon per gallon.  And there's a smaller dose as a preventative. Two seperate vets gave me that...

    Well the necropsy results are in. Coccidosis and no signs of anything else. I'm relieved, but not really. The day I took the one chick in, I got home and another chick was almost dead. She was running and playing when I left. Within 2 hours she was gone. Again, cocci. But I had treated them at 1...
