I did everything I could to help her, she was my friend. She would eat from my hand , I think mostly for me. It took about two weeks, then one day she just would not take anymore food or water and was just sitting with eyes closed and head down. But like yours, one day fine next day could not find her food but could fine the water. Does your roo have diarrhea? my hen had very watery diarrhea. Vet says all birds are exposed to the Marke's virus, some survive, some live until another stress comes along and then they get sick. Looking back, I think one got exposed to it about a year and a half ago, she had some leg paralysis, which got better, but I wonder if that is when it all happened. they had a bad molt this fall and I figure it may have weaken them and now the winter.
Tammye , I agree. I was thinking Marek;s but wasn;t sure I wanted to say so . But 12 of mine had that, where they couldn;t aim and peck. And some with other Marek symptoms. Marek;s can have a varying set of symptoms, OR none at all! Some of mine ate but wasted away.
I cried alot last year.
