I did a lot of searches on Marek's too. Seems its manifestation can be quite varied. I do know she was not vaccinated for it. There were 6 unvaccinated hens that joined 9 with unknown vax record. (That won't happen again! ) Of the 6 unvaccinated, other than the hen I described, I have an 18 mo old sussex that has been on and off sleepy with little appetite. She is molting, so I'm not sure if that is part of it. Her symptoms are completely different. Not even one is the same.
Today she did some standing and walking around the crate for the first time in a week. I think I'll give her another week or so and see if she can join the others. If she takes a turn for the worse, I'll probably euthanize her. I had planned on getting a necropsy done, but if I plan to vaccinate any new chicks, does it really matter for me to know for sure?
