Her food hasn’t gotten moldy or rancid.She’s been Broody for about 2 weeks. Yes the Mareks is just a guess.okay.Now she’s not even talking and is laying on her side with her eyes closed.when her baby is crying she’s not saying anything , when I touch her she doesn’t growl.Please post some photos of your hen, her poop, where she is being kept, etc.
Has her food gotten moldy or rancid?
How long has she been broody? (sitting)
If you don't have confirmed Marek's, then it's just a guess right? Check your hen really well for lice/mites, get her up and moving about a little. Get some fluids into her. Get some vitamins into her - 400IU Vitamin E and 1/4 tablet B-Complex daily.
I would add electrolytes to her and the chick's water for the first week as well. Do make plain water available too.
Make sure she's not overheating and has shade, room to move about with her chick.
Monitor closely.
