chicken not using one leg -

[Newtoindianafarmlife]

I separated her out a week ago to a cage but she still only will use it for balance. There does not seem to be a break or damage to it. I am concerned since I lost one to marek's 2 months ago that this may be a first sign of it in her. She is eating, drinking, pooping and even laid an egg in the cage 2 days ago. any ideas would be appreciated.

How old is the chicken? Did you have Mareks confirmed with a vet necropsy and what were the symptoms? A short video of her trying to walk might help, if you can upload one to YouTube with a link here. Pictures are also welcome. Injuries are more common, and then a leg bone deformity or tendon issue are also possibilities. But if there is Mareks in the flock, that could be the cause. I sure hope not.

She is over a yr. Yes, Mareks was confirmed by necropsy at Purdue but leg issue was not a symptom for that chicken. Let me see what I can do...to upload (i am somewhat lowtech
