I had one that broke a leg and it healed but she limps, a faverolle that kept getting beat up on, and another Polish who was getting beat up on. Now they all live in a pen together and are fine. My first 3 Polish girls are 7 yrs old and have always been together. But a year ago, one was...

Enteritis is like cocci in that the cocci or something else is killing the small intestine. A lot of times it's cocci that does the damage and other bacteria that move in. That's why I use an antibiotic as well for clostridium and e. coli. I am not a vet. Just someone who knows that these...

Fluffed up and lethargic sounds more like coccidiosis. Or enteritis. I would immediately put them on corid or sulfaDImethoxine asap. With Marek's, most of the time they look and act fine while they waste and get paralysis. A few months ago, I found one of my hens (vaccinated) in paralysis...

Your guess is as good as mine Why so green?

Intestine. if you click on the pics you can see the tiny white tumors.

What's the green thing? I believe pic 2 is a kidney but I'm not sure.

This is her liver, CLick on picture for larger pictures Necropsy. 18 month old Creveceour , wasted and died. I believe this is Marek's tumors. If not, please tell me what it is.

Those papers look interesting. I think I'll read some.

If a sick chicken has Mareks symptoms and recovers, she may have been in that condition for a number of reasons including dehydration, lack of food, needing B vitamins, etc. I would always try to eliminate the reasons that are easiest to eliminate. Many of marek's symptoms can be symptoms of...

Most of Marek's information is "chances are, most frequent, least frequent, most possible most likely, or less". The ball park figure for seeing symptoms is 6-25 weeks, most common. the less common is anything up to a year old. Or sometimes even older. I had one that was full blown symptoms...

Chickat, I really didn't have any idea who wrote the article, but I find discrepancies, according to my lay person status, LOL. I have not heard about chicks dying in 10 days . Marek's and Cocci go hand in hand mostly due to immunosuppression. The writer says that those who survive are...

I I could write a whole book but your best bet is to read the Big FAQ Marek's link at the bottom of my posts. It will give you all the basics and more. Marek's is most likely on your property for life. Culling one will not save the rest. You may want to send a dead one to a lab...

Well I always had faith in Consumer Reports until they wrote this article about electronic vaping devices (e-cigarettes). I've been knee deep into the politics and educational aspects of them for 7 years, and I've read hundreds of articles written by anyone and can tell that they wrote their...

La, we already knew that stuff. Remember , if you don't finish your antibiotics, you'll be making super bugs? That article didn't discover something new. It's just making this sound like a new find when just about anyone or thing can develop resistance. The resistant ones are the more...
