Chicken Can’t Stand Without Falling

Any update on this? Did you find out what it was?

Nothing yet. They said it could take a couple weeks. I took him in on 11-7-23. As soon as I hear from them, I will let you know.

Thanks for posting the necropsy report. So Marek's is in your flock. Are you up on the literature on the disease? Do you have any questions?

I literally have no idea how to move on from here.. I am so heart broken.

We are here to support you and to answer questions. I have a similar avian virus in my flock, and others here have Marek's in theirs. It is possible to have this in your flock and still have the joy of keeping chickens.

The first step is to inform yourself about the Marek's virus. Here's a place to start. https://www.backyardchickens.com/articles/the-great-big-giant-mareks-disease-faq.66077/
