Diagnosis: possible mareks, now what?

Let us know how she gets along. It is rare for anyone on this forum to tell you to cull, unless the chicken is a threat to the health of the rest of your flock. I really think this could be an internal laying problem. The hens can have problems standing for very long, prefering to sit, and may waddle. Symptoms can vary with every hen. Giving vitamins and minerals can be an easy treatment if it is somethingis wrong nutritionally.
 
I wish I could post a video, it's not a preference to sit...she cannot walk, she has no balance and can barely stand in one place. 3-5 steps is no exaggeration and I'm not sure you could even call them steps; she stands up and stumbles a few times before falling down, wings flapping and everything. We looked for spinal issues, arthritis issues, kidney issues, reproductive, and prob more that I'm not aware of.
