Have any of you guys had to deal with marek's desiese?

It's not been fun... Lost 6 so far. Leg paralysis, Runny butts, underdevelopment, Dropped wing and neck paralysis. Most say, eggs and meat are ok, but insides most of the time have large tumors.

Don't affect my EE's , and don't affect my Asian blues. they may be a carrier but don't show signs.

It has devastated my Barnevelders and my Flowers.

Yes, my flock has been affected. I lost most of my Bantam Cochins, as well as several mutts and laying hens. It has changed my poultry plans drastically. I was just getting in to showing/breeding/selling show chickens, and was planning to sell eggs and offspring from my flock, but now I have a small, closed flock. Very disappointing

We are very close to ours and spend time every day. I was beating mysleft up as a crappy owner until I discovered where it came from. Now I have to manage it. It a herpy virus with no known cure. God speed.
