Please let her read the article on BYC . It's very detailed, with lots of clues on how to diagnose. (You said she was the smart one at home).So my wife thinks the little rooster with the hurt leg is actually suffering from Marek's. I sure hope she's wrong.
Keep fingers and toes crossed not..So my wife thinks the little rooster with the hurt leg is actually suffering from Marek's. I sure hope she's wrong.
She linked me to that article on BYC. I didn't read though. And couldn't be a vitamin deficiency, as we've fed the same brand of starter feed to 5 generations of chickens now.
I have to say if the bird has a lame foot and it is deemed Mareks means it is in your coop .. get the bird tested please.
Sometimes they change the formula. Could be a susceptible bird.
Not possible at this point in time. Earliest i can get to the vet is next tuesday, plus i can't justify to my wife spending that type of money on a bird i was planning to give away.
Only 1 bird at this moment. My theory is he hurt himself zooming around the coop chest bumping with his brothers.
That is such a nice sized Flock! I’d feel quite prosperous if I had that many chickens!
