Mustard colored urates, stool otherwise normal

[Kiki]

I have been supplementing him with egg white powder (maybe 1/2 tsp total a day) to get him through this since he was moulting, weak and not eating at the time and I was afraid of mareks. In the past when I had hens with signs of mareks this increase in protein seemed to help and they did not become paralyzed. I am weaning him off this now that he's eating well.

Have you had a necropsy to confirm Marek's in your flock already?
Did I miss this some where?

I am trying to catch up on all of your threads. Just starting to read this one.
Are these tape worm segments?

No I bought "mini" pine shavings last time. His stool pics are all covered in the tiny shavings.

I lost a hen in June. She was a rescue with a severe staph infection. She lost some toes bc of it. I only had her three months. She was naked when I got her. By the time three months came and went she was fully feathered and healthy enough to become hormonal. She produced these fishy smelly lash eggs and had an injury and it progressed into mareks. It was classic with paralyzed legs and severe wasting. I didn't recognize the initial symptoms of her dragging her foot as being a neurological sign. I thought it was part of her injury. I think the pain and infection were too much stress for her.

No necropsy?

Yellow what around his eyes?
Bugs or crusty like stuff?

It was a discoloration. He didn't have it when I got him but after a week it appeared. His beak was yellow too. All of that yellow is gone now.

Here is a pic.

No necropsy?

No I only do that if I'm not sure of the cause of death and need answers. I lost two others many years ago with the same issue. One leg forward and one back.
