Here Is the final report of Emily's Necropsy. I believe to understand it that she either had Marek's Disease or Avian Leukosis.
It reads like a dictionary and is way over my head. Can you all make anything else out of it??

@casportpony What did this chicken have? In english?

That's what I read. I also read she was negative for mycoplasma, worms, and flu.

I am so sad about your news and thank you for sharing the valuable information of your experience with all of us on this forum.
Emily did not pass in vain because she was a teacher to us all, as you were in sharing.
I'll be happy to pray for a better outcome on the rest of your little flock!
Please read the post here called: the great big mareks FAQ
It's very long, but very well written. The FAQ section towards the bottom may help you sort this out in your mind.

I can't find the post. Surely 99% fatality in the flock is wrong.

This is the article to which they were referring. I am currently awaiting the results of a necropsy, but am not optimistic since I lost 3 birds in the last 5 days. I haven't had the paralysis issue, but mine lost interest in food, or, as with the last one, didn't want to sleep on the roost for two nights (had to take her out of a nesting box and put her on the roost) and then found her dead in the yard yesterday afternoon.
I think the 99% reference is for the birds infected when 1 flock member has the virus. Basically, you can't scrub the air. It really stinks. I am so sorry for your loss, and will pray for the rest of your birds. Simply because they have the virus doesn't mean they will succumb to it.
