Recently, I lost one of my chickens, Mariana. (she was a rir) I still don't know why, although I think it may be mareks? I don't have much experiance with diseases and such so i'm not too sure.
One day I went to check on her and she couldn't use her leg. The day before her leg was fine... it looked as if it was paralised or something. She didn't appear to be in any pain, she just continued life as normal. But, slowly she got weaker and weaker, and one day we found her dead in her nesting box. I'm not sure if it was mareks or some other disease or just old age (she was around 3-4 years old). What i'm worried about is that if she did have mareks she may have spread it to our other birds... any advice?
