I posted earlier about Miss Red, our 23 week old Road Island Red. She is really, really struggling to stand and falls over if she gets her feet under her. Sometimes she can get a few steps. This has been slowly worsening over the last week. She has lost some weight. I do believe she had some vent gleet and that seems to be clearing up with Monistat and Epsom salt baths. I’ve been giving her Nutri Drench and B complex because I treated the flock with Corid last week and de-wormed them the week before that. We finally made the decision that we would have to cull her later this evening….and then she laid her very first egg right in front of us…the most beautiful egg ever. Now what?!?! She’s eating, drinking, pruning herself, clucking, otherwise seems normal…she just can’t seem to walk. Could this be Marek’s even through she shows no other symptoms??
