    I had a sick chicken...Saturday, Lily was limping, had yucky slimy poop, and layed soft shell eggs. I feared Marek's disease. I separated her from the flock and treated her with Hypericum as suggested by someone on this site (still treating her with that). She had a few more yucky poops and one more soft shell egg. Her limp went away late Sunday/Monday. Her poop is now normal. She layed a normal egg today. How long do I wait to move her back with her friends?

    If it was me, I would wait 3-4 more days just in case she had a relapse. Glad she is doing better.
