Chicken Limping - Injury or Illness

[MamaPollina]

We have a 4 month old girl (the black one) that started limping about a week ago. She’s shown no other signs of illness. Her tail is perky and she’s eating well. I’ve included a picture but am not sure how to share a video. It seems like her hip gives out and she ends up putting her whole lower leg on the ground. She can move the leg. We’ve tried baby aspirin with her and it seems to help. Any ideas what it might be or what we can do to help her?

Another 4 month old (the brown one) has a droopy wing. It’s been a few weeks and we’ve been trussing it up but it still gets in the way of her walking when we remove the wrapping.

My husband is concerned about Marek’s. Any thoughts would be welcome.

It does sound a lot like Marek's. I would isolate both chickens just to be safe. Is her leg bruised at all?

 

[MamaPollina]

There hasn’t been noticeable injury on either bird. I thought Marek’s was more of a full paralysis. She’s still able to walk on it and stretch her leg out but it just seems to give out. We’ve lost a few this summer and are feeling pretty horrible about the prospect of losing more.

Does something seem to be wrong more with the hip, or the leg itself?

It seems like the hip. I’m still trying to figure out how to post a video. :/
