Granny's gone and done it again

Not sideways like that. one straight out front and one straight back.
Mareks virus can cause them to lose control of everything eventually, including the ability to eat. I have heard if you can keep it tube fed, it can live through the disease and recover, but become a carrier. I think if the only problem your chick has is with it's legs, it still might be a tendon problem or some other deformity. If it's losing control of other parts, then a bigger problem. Sometimes Mareks will give them an irregular pupil and change eye color.
I think you are right to cull. Is it a frizzle?
 
Well, forgot I hadnt done the chickens so no nap. The little, I went out and it was starved for water and getting thin. I moved it to the water then the food where it didnt seem interested in eating. It must of drank too much cold water because it started shivering badly . I put it under my coat where it snuggled down went to sleep and stopped shivering then I gently slid my cutters over its neck and ended its suffering.
Its legs relaxed was 2 different lengths and when it relaxed and I gave it a shake and pull then they were the same length. I am assuming dislocation and instead of a necropsy I fed it to the white cat. Binks is a good boy and refused the meal so he got raw egg. His favorite. He passed my test. The white cat which I have never liked did not.
 
I got my Cpap to work by washing the malfuctioning valve. Then one of the cats knocked the whole machine on the floor and it quit working totally. I am going to be tired every day until i get it fixed or replaced which probably won't happen until after Dec. 19th. It is always something.
