Anyone have experience dealing with Marek's?

With B complex, I would crush it (1/4 to 1/2 tablet) in some food you know he will eat, or you can put one of those pills in a liter of water. Chopped beef liver in small amounts is excellent for all B vitamins. Earlier you showed a bottle of B12, and that is not what you want to use.

The Poultry Cell that Kathy earlier recommended is also good to use since it has riboflavin.

Some pet stores will also carry live mealworms. Look for one that sells reptiles, they carry them for the reptiles. If you can't find live ones, dried may work. My hens go nuts for the dried ones.

He had some chicken and blueberries, he must of gotten full because he didn't want anymore. Thats the chicken I had to toss in front of him. He doesn't like me too close. I put a rabbit water bottle next to him so he can have easy access. I haven't seen him drink yet, but then again he might of when I wasn't out there. I haven't crated him just yet. It truly upsets him to be handled like puts him in truama. Seems to make him act worse with whatever is going on with him. So I'm trying to let him be for now. I've been email some lady at Purdue back and forth about him...

I gave him some dry, he loved it. I'm calling a pet store right now. Thank you!!

I found live meal rooms, 35mi away. I'll pick him up some tomorrow.

Oh my God you guys he is eating like crazy. Something else that blew me away, I got in the run with him first time ever and had my hands where he could easily get me, he did nothing to me!! He is perking up and is looking way less depressed!!

If he is bouncing out that quick, then likely something other than Marek's involved. I hope that is the case.

But I still haven't seen him stand just yet today. I seen him try to get up as I walked away but all he did was flap around and fall. I'm uploading another video. I hope it's not Marek's. I still haven't heard a crow either did his eyes and comb look ok to you? I wonder why he didn't get furious with me being in his run?
