My old lady hen has Mareks. I am nearly sure of it because one of her legs doesn’t work, she has skin legions, raised bumps on her skin and green diarrhea. Her eyes also don’t dilate as well. I thought sure she had sour crop. (And, I think she did, I had to massage and give her clotrimazole, which seemed to help the smell.)
Stupid me, I thought she had a stroke. And, so to keep her company, I put my 3 week old chicks with her. I am cursing myself as I write this, although, from what I understand, Mareks is already in my coop.
I read through the Big Marek’s FAQ. One thing that was not addressed was what I do to keep my exposed chickens (and especially my new chicks) healthy. Or, at least healthy enough to not die when they are young.
I’ve added rooster booster to their water. Should I also give them B12? Maybe start them on cranberry? Really, I’m grabbing at strings here. Any help you can give me is appreciated.
I feel so, so stupid.
