I'm sorry for your loss. You did try your very best, and so did she. I am here because I'm dealing with a similar issue with 2 of mine. Terrified of mareks. Pushing vitamins. Did any others in your flock develop any symptoms, or is everyone ok still? Thank you for sharing.

Started out 1 of my amerecaumas was limping and wobbling around on their hocks. One leg seemed injured. Then his hatch mate is now having the same issue and off balance and acting like their legs are lame and weak and fall over eachother. They're in an XL crate in quarantine with food water and...

Any update on this? I have 2 birds showing similar symptoms

I watch everyone eat I like to hangout with my flock as much as possible and it's a time to bond with them so I do see them eating but maybe not as much as the "alpha" hens

Not sure if it matters but they are vaccinated and standoffish don't care to mingle with the rest of the flock so I am hoping and praying it's a vitamin deficnicy I am dealing with

Any update on your silkie was it mareks how is the rest of your flock?

Can you give an update on your flock if you found out it was mareks or not?

Has anyone dealt with mareks and can give me some insight on the beginning stages? I have 2 amerecaunas from the same place a friend got them from a hatchery. They're about 4 months old now have been in my flock since 6 weeks. No new additions no change since getting them. 2 days ago one was...

Ok I will let him rest and only bother him to do cleanings and check food and water. Hopefully he'll eat and drink. I'll try a mashed food and see if it's more appealing in the morning.

Thank you I have nutridrench. I am keeping him inside because flies are very bad right now and I feel he's probably calmer in a quiet room in the house. The barn I also have goats ducks rabbits and they can be a handful lol. He is one of my favorites so I really hope he can pull through quickly...

He'll try to walk and fall down. Should I try to have them out of the crate each day to try to walk around to keep strength or just allow rest at this point? It does look pretty deep which is my concern. They did run off when it first happened and can walk a bit but then wobble down. So I'm not...

The wound is on their thigh area. The dog was a family members, they have chickens and have never had an issue here. I think got excited and worked up, they're not coming back here after that. My chickens mean a lot to me never risking it again. My yards fully fenced in so neighborhood dogs...

Yes just posted photos sorry tried to attach in post but didn't go through. Should be in the other reply.

Wound and spray

A dog went after my young silkie. I cleaned it out with peroxide because it's all I had. I ordered this, he's in a clean crate in the house in a quiet room with food and water. Is there anything else I can do? How often do I clean with the spray when it gets here?
