Golden Comet wobbles and act like drunk

[Luesi]

Hello poultry lovers,

Please help ASAP ..... Two days ago i found my Golden Comet hen laying on the floor of the chicken coop early morning. I looked up all the comments about Marek's disease etc...but nothing really matches. She can walk awhile but then starts wobbling and falls over, but gets up again fairly quickly. She also laid two eggs already and eats and drinks and poops normal Could it been that she just fell off the dowel at night and has a little concussion?? I already separated her ...her head also looks pretty straight to me
I would be grateful for any advise in this matter!
Thank you very much in advance and happy cluck cluck.......

You are in the right place. Mareks can cause loss of balance, weakness in the leg or wing, and a tendency to lie down with odd leg positioning. Did she have a vaccination for Mareks? She may have injured her leg, but I would keep an eye on her for any other symptoms. Here are some good links to read about Mareks, and keep in mind that not all cases have all of the symptoms--each one is different: http://extension.unh.edu/resources/files/Resource000791_Rep813.pdf
