New to Back Yard Chickens

[leeisinokee1]

Hi, my name is Melinda. I live in Okeechobee, Florida. I have 1 pet chicken named Susie. I'm pretty sure she has Merek's Disease as I've treated her with vitamin supplements to rule out other diseases. I've had Susie for about a year now with no change in signs. She's very spoiled because she wants to be held and petted all the time. Besides her scratch she loves fresh sweet corn cut off the cob.
