Does my pullet have Marek's?

[Flying W]

None of my birds have been vaccinated for Marek's. I started her on the vitamin B tonight, I am not going to give any more Hypericum. After speaking with the breeder and evaluating the rest of my flock, I am pretty positive it is not Marek's and that she suffered an injury. She was constantly going under the next boxes and I think she injured herself going under or coming out. So, I brought her 2 lavender orp sisters in from the coop to keep her company. What a difference it has made in her mood and movement, she is standing more, drinking more and eating more. She was very lonely. I am hoping they will provide a mental boost to her and that the vitamins will provide the physical boost she needs to get better. I plan on dropping off the poop sample at the vet tomorrow to see about the worms or cocci.

Thank you all for your input. Of course if anyone else has any other advice, I am open to it. Hopeful my sweet girl gets better!

I'm glad she is getting to enjoy having hen friends around. That was extremely thoughtful & kind of you to bring her some to keep her company.

Thank you Soler, I had the poop tested and it came back for Coccidiosis. Going to start treatment tonight. Will update her progress as it goes. And on a side note, she loves the yogurt!
