*HELP* Is my chicken dying? Mycoplasma? Mareks?

How is your hen doing?

Oh sorry I should have posted a follow up. I got some more opinions and it turns out it was a type or Mareks, so we had to cull her. Sad, but at least she didn't suffer longer.

Sorry about your hen. I was curious because I recently lost an older hen with similar swelling around the eyes. I suspected Mareks. None of my other chickens have shown any signs, but we'll see what the future brings.

Did you have labs done to confirm this?

(EDIT: Oops. Half napping when I answered this.)

No. I noticed she had lost pigment in one iris last summer. No other symptoms until a few weeks before she died.

No but my vet came to examine her.
