Mareks disease

[Chickens and kittens]

I had to put down a chick today who was infected with Mareks disease. Any advice for the rest of my flock?

I'm sorry about your chick.

Did you have testing/confirmation of Marek's?

Thank you for the article! No, I didn’t get her tested. It was pretty obvious though her eyes were discolored, she had lost a lot of weight, paralyzed, and her skin was getting those bumps. She wasn’t going to last much longer and there was nothing more that I could do other than take her to the chopping block.

Poor thing!
