well, he doesnt seemto be coming out of it, he is able to scooch around andget where he wants to go..he just cant seem to get them under him..likes hes stuck in the splits position..his but is raw from scooching..Id like to put him back i the coop, untill i decide if im going to have my partner in crime come do the dirty work..He doesnt seem sick..if its mareks, is he going to spread it to everyone including my pet hens? Wouldnt there be other sighns if it was mareks..he can wiggle his toes so they are not paralized...geez...this is the hard part for me, I hate to see this in anything..i know its food, but hes becoming sweet with all my fiddling! Lol!
No ideas from the picture?

I would try the PolyViSol, vitamin therapy really seems to work in birds

We culled him today..Dont know what it was..but letting him live that life was no way fair...I wonder when this will be emotionally easier for me...Lol

Probably a good plan. When I get a sick one it goes right in the burn barrel.

Im new to this and am doing 22 birds. One of mine is doing this to. It seems like its just the one leg going sideways, and the other leg isnt able to fully carry his weight. My were vaccinated so i dont think its a desiese thing, i think its a growth problem. I put him in a crate and he started to improve so i put him back with the rest and within a day it was worse them before. Now he just sits and eats, can hobble to his water flap his wings, move both legs, just cant keep it under him. I think from then trampling over him. Did you eat yours after you culled it, mines 7 weeks old, but i didnt know if i should toss it or not?
