Help! My hen is not walking: possible Marek's?

[Chickassan]

How is that bird's poop?
Is it normal or runny?
Is it extremely green?
Weird question is the bird emitting any odors besides normal chicken odors?
Are the legs stiff or do they still bend?

Poop was runny but it’s normal now. Only normal chicken poop odors and his feet are flexible. He’s trying to flip around the last couple days.

I doubt it's mereks esp since he was vaccinated. Keeping them away from the group causes them to be lethargic. If he isn't sneezing or showing other signs I'd put him back as long as the other birds don't beat him up

The Marek's vaccine does not prevent Marek's, but instead suppresses symptoms.

Yeah that’s what I’ve been reading. I’m just trying to give him some time to see if it is indeed that or just something else

What have you been feeding him?
Have you tried giving him eggs or oily fish like sardines just something high energy and nutrition.

I’ve given him corn, riced broccoli, I did give him scrabled
Eggs one morning and plan on giving him more tomorrow morning. He’s eating grubblies and I feed him medicated chick starter.

I'd cut out everything but the chick starter and eggs. I'd also treat for a possible vitamin deficiency with vitamin E and selenium. Do you have Nutridrench? I'd use that in the water along with eggs and see if there's any improvement.

You said he was 12-13 weeks, right? You could gradually move him on to grower or all flock at this point.

Yeah hes 12 weeks today. The rest of my chickens are hens ( I have two that are 13 weeks and one that is 14) is it okay to transition all to grower?
