My affected rooster is gitting stronger by the day. Voice is now normal. He is able to stand with all weight on either foot. He now runs to me when I enter the quarantine room. He still trembles perceptibly. He is capable of limited flight but wings do not fold back up properly, at least not at first.
Key points to consider is that if he were kept free range, he would not have survived; and from the interest of economics he would have been dispatched since the feeding and containment are prohibitively expensive, especially when considering that for long-term containment a second cockyard will have to be established some distance from first and outside area of free-ranging flocks.
On whole I have invested in him like we do consistently in humans and sometimes other more valued pets and livestock.
That is really fabulous news. I hope that he makes a complete recovery.
Today marks the end of the 12th week (Mareks' incubation period 4-12 weeks according to I think Merk vet manual) since I saw symptoms of Marek's, and NONE of my others are showing any symptoms. My conclusion is that these are resistant. I did try to feed my survivors well over the weeks, and I did feed pomegranets, some cranberries etc. in hopes that they could get an immunity boost.
Resistant chickens how ever it is achieved is the way to go.
Hope your success continues!
