This is about a Silkie Pullet who hatched in May and started developing symptoms September 18th.
Day 1
-Silkie pullet acts like there is a piece of tape stuck to her foot and we are stumped on what it could be later that night she wont go inside coop so I put her in
Day 2
-Pullet cant walk and is laying furthest from the corner of the coop
Day 3
-Pullet is inside garage and then laying on her side with legs sticking out like the classical signs of Mareks Disease, I start supplementing her water with electrolytes.
Day 4
-Research begins no signs of improvement
Day 5
-I put dissolved vitamin b tablet in her water
Day 6
-she is standing on her the hocks of her legs and by night she is walking around garage like nothings wrong so supplementing water stops
Day 7
-She is perfectly fine this continues for a few days
Day 10
-Pullet is on the ground again unable to stand (I did not supplement he feed/water anymore after day 5)
Day 11
-Pullet leg is sticking out again shaking all over
Day 13
-Pullet dies
-I HAVE HAD NO KNEW BIRDS SINCE JUNE-
The birds I had her in with chicks ranging from 4weeks-9months old are all still fine and no other birds contracted it... After inspection there is some mold in the coop which is being cleaned out now. When she was younger she suffered from heat stroke I also was feeding them on a grower feed NOT starter or layer, they were not free range... Did she just have a vitamin deficiency and me not continue supplementing her water result in her dying... Why haven't any other birds contracted it yet if it is a badder disease?
