D'Uccle 5mo pullet off balance, favoring one leg

I’ve treated their coop and yard for mites since my Silkie had them. Have DE on the ground and in the coop, plus poultry protector mist and garden and poultry dust (with permecyn). The Silkie no longer has mites, but this little one could have gotten some maybe. I checked in all the usual places and didn’t see anything. Hoping for vet today

Sad news. I was able to get into the best avian vet in the area and they are 98% certain its Mareks. And if it isn't, its some major nerve damage that cannot be reversed. So we will need to put my little puffball down. The good news is she is not in pain, so I'll just shower her with treats until tomorrow. I'll take her to UC Davis where they have a lab and can euthanize her and run tests. I'm just heartbroken, and the worst is my daughter is away at school camp and won't get to say goodbye.

I am so sorry to hear this.
