Peekaboo the white silkie and another one.

[mew317]

Hello! Peekaboo, my little white silkie is okay. However, we got another silkie down and acting much worse.
Symptoms: Legs in front or one in the back one in the front, twitching, laying on its side acting if it’s dying.

Q: How old?

A: LOST TRACK!

Q: Bloody, normal, or runny?

A: normal-runnyish.

Please help my silkies, Erie just started acting up after we moved her and 3 other chicks into another pen.

PS: Erie is the other silkie with issues.

Argh, another one might be coming down with it.
Triple the Trouble!

[mew317]

Yep. Both chicks have the problem, hang on a sec.

I didnt realize you said chicks in the post, how old are they?

 

[mew317]

I lost track but I’m thinking around like 1 or 2 months old.

Dont want to jump to conclusions but is anyone else thinking Mareks? @Wyorp Rock @Eggcessive @Brahma Chicken5000

It does sound like Mareks Disease.

I have a separate post for Peekaboo and I have confirmed it’s either Mareks or a vitamin defencieny or however you spell it.
