3week old chicks with tumors

[PaigeBundy]

I have 2 chicken chicks (silky and Naked neck) and one quail chick with tumors. Is this marek? They don’t have any neurologic symptoms. Eating and growing normally. Doesn’t seem to be painful. Clearly contagious bc 3 have it. Should I cull them?

I tried to post pictures, I guess they didn’t go through. The chicks are on their chest and the quail is on its back.

That's the crop. Normal to see large when they've eaten good.

More normal crop enlargement from eating. Just smaller then first.
