I did start her on the Poly vi sol last week as well for the Vitamin B. I am going to head to the pharmacy today and look for some straight B as suggested too.

It sounds like mareks to me. Start her immediately on treatment. You could call someone at Cornell University Poultry Science Department. I think that there is an herbal remedy for Mareks that has shown very good results, I just can't remember the name of it.

Hypericum, that's what its called.

I have tried this on many chickens. I have been battling Marek's for over a year. I've lost 40+ chickens..not one has been helped by Hypericum. I still continue to try, hoping for that illusive miracle that others talk about.

If it is Mareks shouldnt it have gotten worse instead of stable? They have all been together (old and new) for over a month now and no one else is sick as well.

Did you get a chance to watch the videos i posted of her?

Marek's can stabilize for months. It can also go into remission and then come back in times of stress. The symptoms of Marek's can take anywhere from 6- 16 weeks to manifest themselves so the others wouldn't need to show symptoms yet. I lost my first bird to Marek's and not until 16 weeks later did I lose the next.

Oh God no..... no no no.......... how can i tell for sure without culling the bird?

I'm sorry, as far as I know, there is no way of diagnosing except through necropsy. I did hear rumors that a lab in TX were testing through blood samples but, I haven' t heard anything more about it.
