I just found out the hens I bought were vaccinated with mareks vaccine and I think my rooster is sick now

[JarrodnJojo2016]

Is there anything I can do to get him over it? Any way to get him over it? I know he will always have it but is there any meds I can do?? Or anything I can do?

What are his symptoms?
Where'd you get the hens? Did you completely quarantine them for a month before introducing them to your flock?

I don't know anything about mareks but I will send love and prayers for a full recovery to your rooster. I would personally do a full detox on him as if he got into poison. Charcoal from a clean source, calendula is anti inflammatory and doubles as an antibiotic, yarrow is antiseptic and boosts immune system among other things. Also colloidal silver and possibly colloidal gold. Cloves is a big antioxidant and haskap berries. Any kind of berries that are from a clean source not sprayed or chemically fertilized. Best of luck, love and healing prayers to you and your rooster and entire flock!!

Total new flock, he came from some where else I quarantined hiM and he was fine. This morning he was eating and drinking and but open mouth breathing. I’m just worried I don’t want to loose him

Thank goodness they called me back and said hens weren’t vaccinated

Vaccinating hens would not have made a difference. They could not give your rooster Mareks. Mareks comes from getting exposed to the dust and dander of chickens who are carriers. Can you tell us if he is eating and drinking? How long have you had him? How long ago did you get the hens? Pictures of him may help. Respiratory diseases are spread by carriers, and the period of incubation or exposure can be a few days to a couple of weeks. Does he gasp for air, have a watery or bubbly eye, nasal or beak mucus, or sneezing? His poop is very green with bile, so he may not be eating. Get him drinking and put a little water into some of his feed. Are they eating a balanced chicken feed?

Thank you for a common sense response.

The mareks vaccine has nothing to do with his current illness. Changing homes is a stressful time for birds and that can make it so they are more vulnerable to either something they already had that was dormant or something new that is on your property that your flock is resistant to. Does he have any white gunk in his throat?
