Hi I have 4, 1 week old silkie chicks. One can't seem to walk well and keeps falling on its face. I'm a newbie to all this and don't know what to do.

Sorry for your loss. Mareks is not a problem this early. It usually doesn't show symptoms until the chick is a couple of minths old, but it can appear as early as 3 weeks at the earliest. Vitamins with electrolytes, such as SaveAChick or other brands from feed stores can sometimes make a difference with as weak baby chick. Many use Poultry NutriDrench orally or in the water instead.
