Sadly, I do think it is Marek’s. We lost a Faverolle at that exact age to Marek’s with the exact same symptoms. She had no response to supplements etc and passed shortly after. I’m sorry, I hope it’s not the case!
Now I’m even more conflicted than before! This probably means nothing but these little chickens just got moved to the big coop and Domino roosted immediately. The cockerels I’ve had in the past never did this but like I said, could mean absolutely nothing 🤣
It’s SO sweet, I’m really hoping...
I’m sorry you lost your hen and that another is unwell. I’ve had this exact issue running through my flock recently and it turned out to be Marek’s. I hope this is not the case for you, but if you lose another you might consider getting the necropsy done so you can know one way or the other...
I suspect I have had some birds with Mareks and one I believe currently does. I have her isolated and I’m planning to cull based on her condition. 😩
How do I locate a lab in Texas to send the hen for testing? I tried googling and found locations that you send blood samples to, but aren’t there...
Thank you! Lots of mosquitos out right now unfortunately.
So I should assume that the eye issue with the other chicken are unrelated? I’m currently treating with Tylosin (third day) no improvement yet.
Sorry for the picture quality, she was not cooperating. Is this fowl pox? Something else?
I currently have another hen with eye problems as noted in another thread but this hen has only the bumps shown, no eye or respiratory symptoms at the moment.
*this is NOT my chicken*
I’m not home to take a picture but to speed up any help, I found a picture online that looks most like mine does currently. This came on very quickly.
She has no other symptoms that I have noticed other than being lethargic.
