How can you tell if a chicken has Mareks?

I am just wondering because some of my chickens are sick and I would like to know the symptoms and change in combs or wattles.

The symptoms range from slight to severe paralysis in the wings, legs, or neck, and usually results in death from trampling by other chickens, and/or the inability to get to food and water. There can be 'transient' paralysis that disappears after a few days, such as a dropped wing that suddenly corrects itself. In the eye version, you'll detect an irregularly shaped pupil, cloudy eye ('gray eye'), or sensitivity to light. It can result in blindness. The visceral version should be considered when a bird is just generally 'wasting'.

There are many chicken diseases. What symptoms are your chickens experiencing?

They have been very weak and won't eat and drink but they have started to eat and drink again. I have a better idea. Here are the urls of the post I put up of the 2 hens before. It is hard to explain but in these post it's not.
