Need help diagnosing suddenly very weak 7.5 week old chicken

[Vickischics]

My chicken died last night. So sad. kids are crying...it's too short of a life...

It's 4th of July... Has anyone sent their animals for necropsy in California? I'm on their website. Any helpful advice? I've never done this before.

I'm so sorry to read about your baby. That's so sad and I'm sorry your kids had to experience that. So sad.
Please keep us posted.

Lesson learned, some love there birds to death not knowing better. Feed chicken feed to chickens keep it simple. Do some research online on feeding and what not to feed And what ever you think of. Lots of info out there just have to sort through the misinformation. Good luck

Thank you for all the kind words. Our preliminary necropsy test came back. They suspect Mareks. The lab will run additional tests to confirm soon.

Thank you for posting preliminary results. I really didn't think green beans were your culprit. Fingers crossed it isn't Marek's.
