Chicken Limping on One Leg

[amorita]

My silver Wyandotte has been limping on one leg for the passed week. She is about 2 weeks old. She can barely walk and seems to be getting worse. I am worried it could be Mareks. I have 5 other seemingly healthy chicks. Please advise.

Welcome to BYC. At 2 weeks, she would be much too young to show any signs of Mareks disease. Would it be possible to get a picture or two of her standing? Is there any swelling or redness on her hock joint? Are her legs usually together at a normal distance as with the other chicks, or does one leg stick out or twist? Make sure the chick is getting water and some food regularly. A chick chair with food and water in front may help. Here are some examples:

Thank you! The chicken is eating and drinking but can not walk for long and usually ends up sitting every few steps. It seems a bit red. I have attached some more pics, should I try making the chair? How long do I leave the chicken in it and should I leave an area exposed near it’s vent?
