So sorry that you lost Blondie.

Glad that she is improving. You really have been so dedicated to helping her get better.

Thamks for the update and hopefully, she will continue to improve.

Here is a good link that has several good designs for chairs, especially near the end: https://www.backyardchickens.com/threads/versions-of-chick-chairs-please.1166308/

Have you tried her in a chicken sling while you are at work, or can she get to food and water in her cage? Is she still able to get around on one leg? I really cannot tell you what to expect since I haven’t dealt with Mareks. Every case is different. Some chickens can live for a long time if...
