ameraucana quickly on the deline

[Wyorp Rock]

Sorry didnt know I was getting any feedback on this thread.
She's only 8 months old and yes she's been in my care, along with 10 other hens, since she was 3 days old. She eats organic scratch and organic lay pellets. I suspect she took a fall in coop and broke her wing originally(maybe multiple times) that's caused her to be unbalanced if that can happen. Possibly even hit her head. Her feathers appear to be slightly raised on that half of her head. I've examined her head and pet her yet she doesn't react injured.
Not sure if you've seen my followup. She's responding well to the vitamins/electrolytes. Standing tall, walking straight, stretching leg on injured side and grooming herself. Yet she can't get to her oil gland. Wondering if I should offer olive/coconut oil? Thank you for your response. I've tried uploading a video (even 30 sec) but it continues to say file too large.

I responded in a post above here's a link to that.

For video, upload to youtube or similar platform, then provide us a link, the BYC upload does not work.

Will my other birds contract it if they've been together since day one? They've also been eating and drinking from her dishes after I let her out with them. I'm worried

A lot of the answers to your questions are in the Marek's article linked previously.
Marek's is contagious and is spread by dust, dander, on the wind, etc. IF Marek's is the cause of her condition, then the others have already been exposed and they would be carriers. This does not mean they will become symptomatic, it means that they carry the virus. During times of stress or if they become ill from something else, then they could also show symptoms of the virus as well.

Thank you for your help. Do you think at all if her wing is broken and she hit her head it would cause her to be off balance like this?

Thank you for the video, she is a cutie pie!

Chickens can get injured, so that's always a possibility. But I would not rule out Marek's unfortunately.
Let's see what @rebrascora thinks.

The more and more I read about the ups and downs of other's hens and assuming there's a broken wing initially, makes me think it's Mareks as well. My neighbor across the street had a similar situation with a hen except hers had been mauled by her dog and then after about 4 days of normal behavior she became dizzy and too weak sustain normal activity. I guess as long as mine is resuming normal behavior I'll keep her quarantined until she stops wobbling and can demonstrate enough strength to protect heself from the others.
