I think my chicks have Marek's disease! What to do???

What kind of medicine did you put in the water? I have a chick that is a 2 weeks old and doing the same thing!

Thanks for the help everyone! I just panicked a little there.

Thank goodness it wasn't Marek's! I am still actually not sure what it was exactly but we gave them an antibiotic in their water for 7 days straight and within 5-6 days of taking it they were completely better and back to jumping up and perching on my hand. There were 3 out of the 11 chicks that got it which I now know were a Dark Cornish, a Rhode Island Red, and a Barred Rock. They are all doing great and growing like weeds!

what kind of antibiotic did you give them, my little one is acting very similar :S
