Neorological problem in 8 week old Frizzle?

Oh okay. I thought it must have been missing something. Sorry to hear that is what it is. Any other birds coming out with it?

Sad to report that I think I have a full blown outbreak of Merek's here. I might be exaggerating, but it seems like I'm seeing symptoms in at least 50% of my young birds and ocular abnormalities in 20% of my adult birds.

That's so terrible. I can't imagine.

You must be going through hell.

That's nothing compared to the histomoniasis (blackhead) that I'm dealing with... All I can say is that we all should practice very strict bio-security protocols. I never had a sick bird until I started to "rescue" birds from my local feed stores. If only I knew then what I know now!

The feed store in question has a bunch of really sick birds right now. Just yesterday, I saw a turkey bleeding from it's mouth and a bunch more with huge, swollen eyes and sinuses.

Never wear the shoes you wear outside to take care of chickens to a feed store, a lesson I learned. Have you pointed out the sick birds to the feed store employees?
