Hello,
11 month old Easter Egger
Good body weight
Eating
Drinking
Full crop
3 good poops in 2hrs
Red comb
Laying well
I’m not great at feeling abdomens but it’s full and squishy from behind legs legs to the vent. I am not comfortable performing an internal vent check.
Flock has MG and Mareks
I gave her a calcium tablet 3 hrs ago
She is wobbly and sitting funny (see pics)
I would not describe her as lethargic, she is bright eyed and alert.
My gut says it’s mareks but can it be such a sudden onset in an otherwise healthy, laying, free ranging just yesterday, pullet?
Anything else I should examine or look for?
I'll take away food and water tonight to check crop in the morning but anything else in the meantime?
Thank you!
