Marek's Disease

[denisehiggs]

I'm attaching the necropsy done on one of my girls. I have lost 5 chickens in about 3 months. Just looking for any advice you all could give as I research for myself as well.

I thought they had coccidiosis and treated my little flock three times for it. Finally we had the necropsy done as it was apparent coccidiosis was not the cause. All that have died have been female. Three came from a chain farm store and two from private farms.

Thanks for any info!!

Attachment will not open for me.

Your story sounds exactly like mine. I can't view your necropsy though. Won't open for me either.

Denise is my friend...Here’s her report...

So histopathology is still pending. That is where they will find Marek's if it is present. The enlarged organs are quite odd.

Post a picture of the histopathology report when it comes back.

What does she feed her birds?

What does she feed her birds?

I believe they were on regular chick feed until around the beginning of Sept she switched them to Medicated chick feed. @denisehiggs is that right? Brands?

I'm so sorry for your loss!
