Large open wounds - Mareks?

[JacinLarkwell]

My birds never had large scabs like that caused by mareks. Can the hen in question walk? It looks more like she rubbed it open by dragging it against a surface to me

Better photos. Her poops are still a bit green but then I just cleaned it and her latest was a bit watery but not the same green.

From these photos it's more like a keel blister? But its huge and right of the keel bone, and that doesn't explain the hock wound.

This morning poop

Hock wound, I still wasn't very successful on this one

No, she's walking fine. She's standing in her cage and feeling good enough she was trying to sneak out of her cage when I cleaned her water bowl this morning. She's definitely acting perkier now.

And thanks for the Mareks input, I've never had big wounds like this either, I've had the "normal" paralysis version so far.

I've been thinking through their coop and run, it would be a bit of a long shot but not impossible... I have a pallet in their run for afternoon shade but they also like to perch on top of it. What if she somehow slid down the pallet and got a sliver in her breast and tumbled a little and caught the back of her leg? Then maybe the sliver festered and got infected and turned into the big wound and the one on her leg also got infected from her preening the first wound then transferring infection to the one behind her leg?

How is your hen doing now? I’m experiencing something similar with my girl now.

She was not improving so we culled her. She was eating well but still loosing weight with no improvement on the wounds, she lost her spark and I knew it was time.

Thank you for your response, and sorry for your loss.

Thank you, I hope your girl recovers. If you start a thread in this Emergency forum with I formation and photos, hopefully we can help you.
