Thank you! I’m going to buy some vitamin E and B right now. I spoke with a vet on the phone who says Mareks has been very common in our area, and he feels pretty certain that what it is. I’m bringing her there tomorrow.

Hi! I soaked her feet and checked, they look good. I checked her poop and vent for worms as well and don’t see anything. I might take her to a vet today. I’m thinking mold or mareks based on the responses. I can’t keep her inside forever and I’m afraid to put her back with the flock if it’s mareks

I’m so sorry to hear about this. You did an amazing job trying to save them! How did your vet determine it was Mareks? I may be in the same boat right now

Hello! I am wondering if anyone has some experience or advice with integrating some ‘possibly recovering?’ 6 week old rock pullets to my backyard flock of silkies. I got the pullets at 4 weeks of age from a non-sanitary seller (wish I had known prior!). I have quarantined them in a clean space...
