Hi! Two of my chickens got Mereks and I found a cure that worked for someone’s flock, the two that got it are Ghost my leghorn mix(6 months) and Reaper my Partridge silkie(6-8 months) neither laying eggs yet, Ghost is being put down by the vet and getting a group cremation, it was too late for her, but Reapers just started today, she hasn’t stiffened up yet or gone too long without eating, she’s being a picky eater but she always expects treats when I bring her inside, she’s cautious about water because I tricker her into drinking apple cider vinegar, the things Im using to cure it are Hypericum a homeopathic liquid remedy, It goes straight from the dropper onto the top of her mouth to get it into her sinuses, it needs to in their sinuses, then there’s apple cider vinegar and Probiotics in water, I stretch Reapers legs and toes every two hours to keep them from going stiff, she’s already showing signs of some recovery, she’s more aware, talkative and cuddly, whenever I put her in her box she lifts her head as high as she can and starts bawking to come out, she’s sleeping on my lap listening to Lofi Hip-hop and trilling right now, she eats her mealworms and oats fine and has occasionally stood up when I was forcing her beak open to give her her drops.
Now for the rest of my flock I’m putting a humidifier in their clean and sanitized coop with the hypericum in it, the hypericum cannot go in a plastic humidifier, then it will take plastic chemicals out with it, it needs to be glass, I’ll be putting probiotics in their food and water of course and a bit of apple cider vinegar in their water, so far no signs of Mereks from the rest of my flock but my two silkies and my praire bluebell would cuddle with her.
I will be keeping this updated with the progress on Reaper and if my flock develops symptoms!
None of my chickens are vaccinated accept maybe RoadRunner and definitely Dill Weed, I do not vaccinate because my friend had a flock who died from Mereks despite all being vaccinated.
The ones if the white and grey chickens are how Dill and Ghost were, Dill still sleeps in the nesting box waiting for her, had to block it off so she’ll go back to rooster, Dill is the top of the pecking order and Ghost is the bottom, among my youngers.
I also burned everything that came out of the coop.
