[QUOTE="branguscowgirl, post: 1149663, member: 19938"] wbvs58 I have not done a post mortem. But I think that I need to do that next time. However, I really don't think that I would know what I was looking for in a chicken. (Unless the problem was really obvious.) Probably would need the vet to do it. I will look up "Mareks Disease" again. But there was some reason that I had ruled it out, maybe the age of the chickens? (They are 3-4 years old.) Though I agree, with each one having slightly different symptoms it could match Mareks! Lost 3 in the last month. (But one of them seemed to be from the heat on a 105 day.) Lost at least 3-4 more in the past year. Chippie everything has been bleached. So I am thinking that I either have a carrier chicken, the wild birds, or it is in the ground somewhere that they are picking it up? Heck with the flood irrigation, I guess that it could travel from miles away! :? I will check out the websites that you have provided. Slick I also keep new chicks isolated from the flock. However, I placed 3 under a broody hen one time about 2 yrs ago........That's when it started. But which came first, the chicks or the germ bug? I don't know. Thanks everyone! I knew that I could count on my cattle friends for an odd ball question! [/QUOTE]
