Thank you for the great information I really don't think that's what it is although I'm not an expert but I will definitely check into that it's not really like a big belly full of fluid I don't think but I'll keep an eye out what I am concerned about is she is paralyzed in her legs

You could be dealing with Mareks.

Well I'm doing everything in my power and knowledge to help my baby bird thank you for all your help I think at this point I need to just see what happens I am concerned about the paralyzed legs does anybody know anything about that? Everyone kept asking me if she was paralyzed but never heard what that's all about

Paralyzed could mean Mareks.

.does Mareks just appear? Is there a cure?

Okay I read about Marek's disease and I truly don't think that's what it is oh I don't know what to do can someone help me.?? I know everyone is giving me the best advice that they can I just know if there was going to be hope but I don't want her to suffer either I don't know what to do. I tried to stand her up and she just has no desire to use her legs what the heck is this
