So, one of my hens died a few days ago.
She was fine on Sunday but on Monday morning she didn’t come out of the run and when I found her she was very lethargic and didn’t do anything which is very unusual for her.
My daughter is a vet tech and I took her to her clinic where she died shortly after.
Since we didn’t know why she died so unexpectedly we decided to have a necropsy done and the preliminary report suggests that she had Marek’s.
I’m totally surprised and overwhelmed since I didn’t see that coming.
What does that mean for the rest of my flock (I have 8 more chickens)?
And where do I go from here?
Any advise is appreciated.
