You've arrived a a very valid decision. By the time you're ready to begin again with a new batch of chicks from a reputable hatchery, you will be full of optimism and joyous anticipation. Time will heal.

Thank you, I sure hope so! And thank you for the helpful message last night too!

Just sucks when youve already bonded with them and you try everything you can to save them and nothing works!

Noone ever told me how much Id love these little guys, and noone ever warned me about the hundreds of things that could go wrong, unfortunately I have been unlucky enough to just about experience it all in my first 2 years! Thats my luck anyway..

I guess if im gonna be a successful farmer this city girl is just gonna have to toughen up and quit geting so emotionally attached to my animals..

Im sure gonna hate to loose them, but at the same time I CANNOT keep doing this to myself or them it is just impractical and Ive came to the end of the road with it all, I have to do whats best now, but atleast I can say I gave it my all...

Heres to my super 8, they sure will be missed!

Well i just wanted to update everyone i didn't cull the baby i suspected had mereks because for 1 it wouldn't of done any good everyones already been exposed, for 2 i didnt know for sure thats what she had and 3 i wanted to see if she could pull through, I felt really bad about it a few times and almost did euthanize her, but the last 2 days shes shown signs of improvement. She can steady herself and walk a short distance now, when before she couldnt at all, she couldn't even stand!
Im still not convinced its not mereks because from what ive read symptoms can come and go, and return, this is her 2nd episode, but it was much worse this time. Im also not convinced it wasnt botulism, or mycroplasma(i know she 100 % does have that) and i read mycroplasma can mimic Marek's symptoms. Her legs never spayed or paralized she just couldnt control her body.
Anywho with no idea what i was dealing with I started treating for everything she has been on a cocktail of b complex liquid supplement and duramyicin with corid in water, it has seemed to help so far, although i know were not out of the woods yet until she completely recovers.
But here she is walking today

For now i am going to continue keeping the super 8 confined to thier own coop away from my others and just keep a watchful eye on them. Im terrified with the colder weather coming in we are going to have more problems though...
I know this is going to be a continuous problem but if i could just see this through until i can benifit from them that would be great!!!
