I believe I am dealing with Marek's. I only have 2 new chicks that I hatched from a few eggs I bought. 4 weeks after hatching one chick started having trouble walking. Now lays with 1 leg forward, 1 leg back. I believe this to be Mareks now and not a vit. deficiency. Everything I read leads me to believe that this baby will not recover. I think I will have to cull. My question is:
What do I do with the healthy chick?
I have an entire flock of adult chickens (just pets). These babies have not been any where near the adult birds. I'm freaking out!!!!! I can't cull a healthy chick.......but probably a Mareks carrier.
