@ChickensRsmart thank you for the info! Mareks definitely seems possible given the symptoms. Supposedly she was vaccinated against it, but I read that the vaccine isn’t foolproof. Thankfully I’ve seen no similar signs in our other 3 chickens, but I will be very watchful!I'm sorry about your chicken. Some of the symptoms you've described sounds like Marek's disease - a virus. It's a common problem apparently. If you see these symptoms again in another chicken - separate the chicken from the others. In mild cases of this disease, I have seen raw garlic make a huge difference! Garlic is anti-viral and anti bacterial...and it helps just about everything going on inside a chicken...
