Hello all,
We have had a run in with Marek's (I think). I never paid for any testing but the first chicks I ever bought were local and unvaccinated (I didn't know better), and all but one developed a Limp then quickly went downhill and died. All signs pointed to Marek's.
Though, one chick lived and is a great layer.
I started over and only bought from a store where they're vaccinated.
I now have 4 pullets, 6 months old and one started limping today.
I now have her separated and I'm freaking out. I know vaccines aren't 100% and I'm hoping this Limp is just an injury but it looks all too familiar. No signs of trauma, no apparent broken bones....
Any ideas or thoughts are appreciated.
