HELP Limping chicken

I had mareks at our last house, we moved about 10 months ago, this chicken was about 2-3 months when we moved. We had mareks in one chicken about 2 years ago, obviously this chicken was not alive then but we have chickens who were alive then who are still alive now. Maybe they're carriers and passed it on to her? However the chickens that we had with the chicken who died of mareks are not vaccinated. Is it possible for an unvaccinated chicken to be a carrier?

Yes.
 
Ok, well hopefully it's not mareks:fl, time will definitely tell for that one. I didn't think it was mareks originally because she doesn't seem unbalanced or having problems anywhere else but I'm defiantly going to keep eye on her.
 
I don't know, I thought she might because it doesn't seem to be a foot problem because she doesn't mind when I put pressure on her foot, there are no ouchie spots and there's no swelling on her feet of lower legs. The ways she walks it looks like she falls on that side so maybe it's sprained or something. I don't know how to tell if it's sore there, I can't see anything with all those feathers.
 
Is it possible that she's not in pain but there's just something wrong with her foot/leg that's preventing her from walking correctly? I know it sounds weird but I can't find any swelling and I find it a little odd that the other chickens aren't bothering her even though there's clearly something wrong, do they react to pain or injury? Also she definitely not holding back from walking around, she's constantly escaping from her sick pen to hang in the dirt or forge

Probably not.
There is definitely something wrong with her.
