Sorry to say - that little chookie has died... :-(
She hardly ate all day and I went to check up on her just a few minutes ago and she's passed on.
So I'm surprised Mareks' affects so quickly, but perhaps that's just part of it, perhaps it wasn't mareks' at all.
Anyhow, will keep an eye on the rest of the flock. Have bought disinfectant etc to clean and wash out the cage and coop this afternoon.
Here's hoping the rest of the girls are ok???
Re going forward, if the rest of the girls show no signs of anything over the next few weeks, should I introduce new pullets to the flock, or leave it a number of months/year for any possible virus to be decontaminated???
Not sure where to go from here?
