 My Rhode Island Red Chicken Is Unable To Stand. Is It A Virus?
My Rhode Island Red chicken has not been able to stand on its own for four days. It is eating and drinking normally. It is also having normal bowel movements. It is in a cage with one other chicken which is in good health. There are no signs of injury or pain when handled. What is wrong?

 Your chicken is suffering from Marek's Disease if it is losing its weight as well. It is a type of cancer. Observe your chicken closely. I think it is not vaccinated. Take it to vet and vaccinate all your chickens today. It is very important. This disease is very common worldwide and hard to cure when once a chicken catches this fatal disease.
