Vitamin b deficiency or Mareks

[Brahmachicken240]

Video of her walking today

I noticed wry tail on one of the others the other day so I’ve been giving her some vitamin b too. I got them all as hatching eggs from a breeder at the beginning of last year. Could it be genetic?

She’s the golden Brahma (her best friend)
Her tail looks much better today

I am sure your patience and attentive caring for her has greatly assisted in her recovery so far Brahma, fair play to you.

Thanks

Wry tail is a genetic trait. You have a bunch of pretty birds.

I would probably keep her B complex in her food every day since she still is having a bit of trouble getting around.

Thanks, her tail wasn’t always like this... I noticed it three days ago and started her on vitamins right away.

I had a your rooster who didn’t seem to have it either, until he was about 5 months old. It is not helped with vitamins. Here is a link to read: https://www.mypetchicken.com/backyard-chickens/chicken-help/What-is-wry-tail-H305.aspx

Very sad news, I was out with her all day, had her out in the field with the others, decided to go in and get a drink for 5 mins and thought she’d be fine, heard the guineas making their alarm noise and went out only to find a pile of her feathers leading into the bushes were I found her head. We’re so devastated right now.
I was out taking photos of her to update yous right before all this happened

I’m pretty sure it was a fox as I’ve seen the little bugger crossing our driveway at night. I’ll be ringing pest control and maybe set some traps up myself to take care of him

Oh no, I'm so very sorry
How devastating this is. What a sweet girl and pretty girl she was.
I do hope you will be able to trap the fox.
