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

    The state poultry guy here said that there are two levels of Mareks: the regular kind and the OMG kind. The regular kind is already everywhere. Wild birds and the wind transfer it all over. You really cant get away from it. So breeding for resistance is what people do. You will take some...

    Sorry to hear about the possible Mareks. It is not the end of the world, though. you may lose a small percentage of birds, but most of them will develop a resistance to it, (I am told.) I was devastated when I lost my first bird during my first year of having chickens, Eventually you develop a...

    Good for you for being truthful and giving your honest opinion. too often I have kept my mouth shut about something I knew was wrong and regretted it. Glad you found somewhere else to go.

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

    That is what I am figuring. At this point they have all been exposed, right? is there any reason to remove her from the rest of the flock if she can still hold her own with them? I would like her to have a "normal" life as long as possible. she is a sweetheart. a Crested Cream Legbar...

    Yeah, I know, right? And the guy in charge of the lab there seems to be a really decent guy. spent time answering my questions. I haven't heard back this week about the biopsy so I will call on Monday. but I will assume it is Mareks until I find out otherwise... Meanwhile...I have a...

    not a cure. sorry. would be nice but even the post says: "numbs nerves and dulls pain." At best it might make the bird more comfortable for a while if they have the inflamation that makes them lame. but the tumors are what eventually kills them. I wish. would be nice.

    The Virginia State lab in Harrisonburg. They are right over the mountain from us so I actually dropped the chickens off personally.

    Well, I think I must have had a false negative on that Marek's test. We had 2 others go down in the last few weeks. Faster this time but without the curled foot. I had no idea what it was. I took them in for necropsy on Monday and they called me today. Lymphatic Tumors. They haven't said...

    I think I did the sav-a-chick probiotics. but I think I remember you recommending a different type? was it the human ones? I am willing to try anything...again if necessary.

    No, it IS, it IS! I have to say I wish there was a support group for MG/MS that was as open, honest, genuinely supportive and informative as this one is for Mareks. I think that's why I am still here even though I know now that what I am dealing with isn't Mareks. You guys rock!

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

    I wish I had a Chicken Vet in my area. The vet at the testing lab wants me to bring her in for a necropsy. I am going to do the blood test for MG and MS on my entire flock. MS is my next suspect, honestly. It causes "Lameness" (I wish they would be more specific as to what THAT means) It...

    Thanks. MG is Mycoplasma Gallisepticum and it is a respiratory thing. They get a cough and respiratory rales and eye swelling/messiness that comes and goes throughout their life (from what I understand) The only two that I had that definitely had it I had killed and necropsied by the state...

    I am like that too. I cant deal with a mystery. I HAVE to know. I like everything known and everything out in the open. I am one of those people with whom there is no mystery. I am all out there, heart and mind on sleeve. Turns out I don't have Mareks, but I might have MG (here is my...

    So many people have chicken diseases and have no idea what they have. The fact that you are trying to figure it out and deal with it in a responsible way puts you head and shoulders above so many. I remember a while ago chatting with a 4-h mom who was really casual about her daughter's...

    I am sorry to tell you that this does sound like Mareks when combined with the wonky pupil.. If you want to know for sure, there is a link the lovely people here gave me a few pages back to the Texas A&M testing people for a blood test. I think it ended up being about 25$ test itself and 25$...
