    My silkie is suddenly getting picked on.

    What are the symptoms and treatment for Marek's in a 1 year old hen? She seems uncoordinated, slow and just not right. All my chickens were recently wormed and treated for Cocci and with Corid after being treated with sulphamethazine . The rest of the flock is fine now, I lost several.
