Marek's?

Does this look like Marek's?

and here's this video

I lost one before about 3 weeks ago. Another Buff had it's neck bent way back over it's body and seemed off balance. I would have thought I would have lost more birds since then. This one seems as if it's falling a sleep, looses balance when standing/walking,and it's head seems to go from it's right to left alot. All most like it can't control it.

Your vids would not play for me. Mereks usually comes with tremblings or shakes and yes off balance movements. Usually hits around the 6-7 week mark but can occur later.

Wish ya the best.

Sorry you should be able to see the videos now, They were set to private.

The chick does look sick/lethargic. Closing the eyes and not standing. I would not rule out Mereks from that video evidence but I saw no indication of shaking or trembling ect that would make me think it was.

Sometimes they bounce back after a few days sometimes of being sick they don't. I think I would look after her for a few days. Maybe put her by herself so that she doesn't get others sick or get picked on.

I really am not an expert but am trying to help. I have had to cull a chick with Mereks so I can speak with a little bit of experience. Let's hope she gets over it quick.

I have her on a broad spectrum antibiotic, electrolyte,and Vitamins. She is in my side pen by her self and warm and dry. I'll treat her for a few days to see if she gets better.
Thanks for your post!
