What is the normal temperature for a 4 month old rooster and what do you use to take the temperature. When can we consider the bird is running a fever?
Thanks

I think there are blood tests for Mareks that the vet can perform. However you can detect it yourself sometimes. Look into his eyes. Compare his pupils with other healthy birds. If his pupils are not completely round and look out of round or oval, he most likely does have Mareks.Thank you everyone. I know there is something else in my little rooster...We already went to the vet about a week ago. It can be marek disease , heavy metal poisoning or vit. B deficiency...It responded positively to the calcium EDTA shots, but the vet gave me only 2 days of supply...and since then he's going down hill. He has some anti inflammatory, but not antibiotics, and I believe he's running a fever now. Going back to the vet on monday, but I'm afraid it's too late to save him as even if its lead poisoning the damage is done.
Is there a test that can be perform to make sure it's marek disease? ( Tcell?)
thank you
