Yeah, i have been told the same. Most of the time its just our fear, because its one of the big ones and its generally all over the place. I was also told that more and more birds are ammune to it. But its still something i will remain afraid of lol. I love my birds and i get so scared time and...

No i had one done. I wanted to be sure 100% that it was not Mareks.

Thank you all for your positive posts and encouragement. I have decided that i just cant be without my chickens. (Gee, who didnt see that coming lol) turns out that my EE jad swallowed a pebble as i had feared. I have moved my remaining three babies and all are well. So glad it was not Mereks.

You are not kidding. It's scary how hard it is to keep them healthy. But dang, i love chickens, they are sweet and beautiful and they love my Irish Setter .They all lay down together.

You are the best. Thank you soooooo much.

Omg, i am so sorry. How did that happen? My heart is broken for you.

Thank you so very much .I have a feeling its not mareks as well, but i having a search done to see what has caused it. I was also just informed that my area has very low levels of Mareks and my soil is too clayish for it, but still slightly possible. I thought you had to cull everyone once one...

I want to keep having chickens, but the fear every single day is getting very un nerving and Mareks being mentioned all the time and how bad it is and you cant get rid of it... Maybe just stick with full grown adult hens. None of my older birds are ever sick. Babies...i am done with that lol

I am thinking this is not the big M. This is something different. Maybe soap left on the waterer. Hubby cleaned it the other day and he said he wiped of a bit of left over soap when he went to put the waterer into the coop. Idk but the fluid she spit up, tells me, not the big M.

Oh thank you, ill check that out.

Ok don't think this is Mareks at all. She had fluid coming out of her mouth. Maybe the water i gave her, idk, but when i opened her beak, there was a bubble. I blew on it to pop it and she shook her head. The fluid was merky. She curled her toes around my hand, but her neck flopped. We just put...

Thank you so very much. I dont know why, but i keep thinking this is an injury. My other four who she lives with are perfectly fine. I am wondering if she ate a pebble. Something seems...off. Not like shes sick, but more like something else happened. I wish i could explain better. I just put...

I guess i should just cull my entire herd then. Mereks spreads. So ill, just have to cull and never do chickens again. This is painful, but i dont want it to spread and have others come visit and bring mereks home with them. None of my neighbors seem to have these issues, only me. I give up. Lol

Well that just scared me. Now im sick to think that my flock has Mereks. i had a baby just pass, blood in her poop, but i dont think that was Mereks. I pray she doesnt have Mereks, the neck issue, she cant seem to hold her head up, that is what scares me .

Thats what im thinking as well. Her wings are good and she uses her legs when i pick her up. She was just chirping too.

Ah ok, ill give that a shot, thank you.

This just happened. This is her poo and she is losing control of her neck. One she falls she opens her eyes.. Ugh so lost .

She keep rolling her neck, falling and tucking it into her chest. I dont think shes going to make it. Head injury?

The first picture is her now, the second one was just after she fell over the first time. She has not pooped yet.

Thank you, thank you, thank you! I feel so bad for her. I have her in an empty bedroom close to the heat vent .Suddenly she fell over to her side, opened her eyes, almost like she was shocked .I stood her up again and placed a toilet paper roll under her left side. I'm going to post a picture of...
