No, just whatever they find in the yard.

I tried to upload a minute video I took but I can't. I'm guessing the file is too large.
They are free range chickens and get meal worms as treats occasionally. Poop looks normal. Solid and brown.
They go into a brooder in the garage in the evening. I was actually going to switch them to a fenced in yard with a newly built coop but I think I will hold off to see if it's Mareks and try to keep this area uncontaminated.

What do you feed?
Upload video to youtube and provide a link.

What are you feeding including treats?

You have to upload the video to YouTube first and then copy and paste a link to it here.

I had to use my kiddos youtube account lol. I'm very amature. I was forced to trim it to 60 seconds so it gets cut off abruptly.

chick starter from tractor supply. It’s 20 percent I think?
my kiddo has a YouTube so I am using his acct. I’m not very knowledgeable in this stuff at all! It was force reduced to 60 seconds so I can try another one if need be.

Last night if I laid him on his back he would stay there. Today he is rolling back over. Also, if he raises up to flap his wings, he loses his balance and stumbles.

I would try vitamin therapy.
Just because he walks and doesn't run, doesn't mean he's got Marek's.
He's Polish - do you have any other Polish at all?

 

[notley04]

Be a few weeks younger and then some silkies

Crested birds can have some neurological problems. A peck to the head could do it.
I would still try the vitamin therapy and offer wet feed to see if there's any improvement.

What was the outcome to this little one?

 

[notley04]

Not Mareks! I do think it was pecked on the head. It got out of its dazed and confused stupor after a couple of days and went back to normal!
