[dab045]

Help! I am on day maybe 5 and I am reading reading reading trying to see if this is marecks or what.
my baby is barred rock bantam and she is aproximately 6 weeks old. She has 5 brothers and sisters and has been great up until last week when one day she was limping and next day one leg seemed hurt then the next day that leg seemed broken I then at that point brought her in to watch and give her TLC. She might be a he for all I know i am just calling her her. anyways she eats good drinks good is one of my fatest ones but now she can not walk. Her legs just give out and she has to lay all the time. Does this sound like mareks or what? Oh a few days ago I ordered hypercum and will start that hopefully tomorrow. I got her on vitamins you mix with water.

How is your chick doing? I have no experience with Mereks - so will give you a bump.

Is it possible that a dog got her? I ask cause two weeks ago, one of our Mastiffs "caught" a flying chick (chick was flapping around, jumped up into the air and dog grabbed chick). He was not trying kill her, the chick happens to be one of his favs - but when he caught her - he pulled a muscle in her leg or twisted something - he never bit her or broke the skin. When she squak, he put her down but she could not walk. Took almost a week of house rest before she was mobile again.


Hoping your chick is on the mend.
