Very sick Chick - sneezes, paralysis...edit*looks like Marek's*

dang....I'm going to have to figure out this picture uploading thing

Well, I had to put down ChickenHawk yesterday. She began really struggling to breathe and was obviously agitated and suffering.....I think the paralysis might have begun to creep into her diaphragm or other breathing control areas. I contacted the farm I bought them from to let them know and they re-confirmed they hadn't had any other sick birds. My other four are as happy and healthy as ever, so I guess it was just one of those things (acute Marek's, developmental problem..??). Thank you all for the information and good wishes!

I'm so sorry that you had to put down Chicken Hawk...
One of the reasons that I was glad that Miss MoneyPenny was taken by the hawk...I KNOW I couldn't have done it myself.

That's what the vet said would happen to Penny too...
