My chickens are dying.

[Keagan]

I do not know what is going on with my flock. A couple weeks ago one of my chickens would not move and wouldn't do anything. It could stand and take a couple of steps that was it. It was babied for a week until it plain out died. Now yesterday I had one who did not want to move it was outside in the run after dark which they never do. And this morning it was found dead. They are far away from anything, however they are in the woods and there are turkeys that stop by. But nothing can touch them. Please help for I have lost 2 of my 6 Rhode Island Reds. (They are 2 years old)

Sorry for your losses.
Have you heard of something called Marek's disease?
Please read this and see if you think it could be a possibility:

Wow... that is it! The first one was really stiff in wings, neck and legs and the second was just legs. Guess I just gotta hope for the best . Thanks for the reply at least I know what it was

You are welcome.
Get the rest of them some vitamins. Nutri Drench is good.

West Nile is a possibility....

My understanding is that West Nile virus is not an issue for chickens.
