Just ordered terramycin from Amazon. I haven't checked internally yet, but for wet pox what are the treatments?

I do have Marek's positive flocks, if it is related how can I treat it?

We are approaching near freezing temps, so mosquitoes are almost nonexistant if not dead for the season. So far, no scratching, though on top of the beak there is a bit of blood, almost like they are scabs.

One of my splash Brahamas woke up looking like this. They are over her eye and on top of her beak. What are they and how do I treat them?

So I have been doing the B Complex tab since the 20th and have seen no improvement. Is this going to be more of a long term treatment, or should I have seen improvement already if it wasn't something serious?

No, joint is only swollen on the one leg. I give them Nutrena All Flock, or Feather Fixer if that is not available. I do have B-Complex, I'll start cutting some up later today.

I was able to finally get a few good ones. The top one is the swollen hock area, the one beneath that his normal leg. Below are what his feet look like when he is attempting to walk about. Fyi, this is a Marek's positive flock.

I'll take some later today.

So on further inspection the hock area right above his "knee" on the painful leg is slightly swollen. Would this be a pull or something worse?

What dosage for children's Bayer should I use? I did use it during a wry neck treatment on a hen, but Beretta must be near 10.5 lbs

I'll give him another go over, I know I can do children's Bayer for inflammation, should I start him on a regimen of it till he improves?

My JG roo Beretta is limping on only one leg and not putting any weight on his other.As you can see, he still crows, eats, drinks, and tries to wrestle with the ladies like normal. I see no bumbles, swelling, redness, excessive heat or feel any breaks or dislocations. He is just at a year old...

Very interesting!! I would habe to say yes, the broody hen is Marek's positive. I don't have a brooder per se, but a bin I set up with a heat lamp. I've never had fresh hatched chicks before, will this setup be sufficient should I go ahead with vaccinating them?

I will contact them today, good idea.

Thanks, this is not an easy thing to plan for, and I avoided getting incubators because I want naturally raised chicks. I don't like the idea of seperating them from the hen right after hatching, so I haven't decided yet if I will attempt to vaccinate them or save the vaccine and invest in an...

I just ordered the vaccine, is there any chance of effectiveness at all if they are scooped up right after hatch?

Is there a good step by step video of how to go about vaccinating chicks? Trying to work out a plan of how to go about this. So it sounds like I'll need to scoop them up as they hatch and place them inside?

Buying vaccinated chicks doesn't help when you are hatching your own and need to vaccinate them.

I finally have a broody hen who is sitting. I can't wait for the hatch, but I am curious if I vaccinate the chicks for Marek's if it will still be effective seeing as the chicks will already be outside and of such a process would "discourage" the hen from raising the chicks? And yes, I do have...

I would recommend getting a necropsy done. Some of the symptoms sound like Marek's, a necropsy will help determine that.
