I have a closed flock and normally vaccinate chicks for Marek's when they hatch, but I had a hatch of 3, so decided to gamble and lost. One of those chicks, who is now a 5 mo old pullet developed a lame leg 6 weeks ago. She is eating drinking and otherwise normal just hobbling along as best she can. I am wondering how many have had Marek's survivors? I know it will never go away, but I believe I have read that they can survive it. Thankfully, the other 2 pullets are still fine, but I know not out of the woods.
And the double whammy is that she now has Bumble Foot on the hock joint that she sorta of drags along. So, I am treating that with the Tricide Neo. I'm only on Day 4 and it already looks better. Here is a pic on the 1st day of treatment. I will update this post, if it continues to get better.
