Thank you so much!!Thank you! As for Mareks, I was told by a poultry director from Auburn University that this disease is everywhere pretty much. He said if you own chickens you just about can count on having Mareks but not every bird will come down with the disease. It remains in the ground and is carried by the wind from bird dander. Wild birds and chickens are carriers. All you can do is try to keep your flock as healthy as possible, times of stress are related to birds becoming symptomatic, so I try keeping their routines the same, feed them fermented feed and I give them garlic and oregano oil (one drop of oregano oil to the feed bucket, it is very strong). Once again I am sorry for your loss!
