There was no ocular with this bird, he ate up til the end but lost weight. Lost one leg's use, the other one just got weak. Wings werent paralyzed either. I have kicked botulism before, I dont think it was Botulism. I truly think latent mareks or triple E. I think latent mareks. Correct me if I'm wrong but that means NONE of my current birds, even old ones can be sold right? This bird was one of the Sterling Sue birds. We had insane mosquito issues. It's a wait and see, but I am so crushed by all this.
In what I've read, most chickens have either been exposed or have been immunized. I think you should do some reading on it, there's plenty of info on the net. With EEE they can't pass it, mosquitos pass it, but you know that.
I hate that it's just a big guessing game when a chicken is sick. Alot of symptoms are vague. Maybe with this big chicken movement in the last few years, there will finally be some research. But it seems like so far, the only concern for chickens is getting them to live till they get eaten, not what happens when they grow older.
