Hey yall,
Well 2 days ago my little silkie that's less than a year old started acting weird. She couldn't stand up and was spreading out. I isolated her last night and today's she's still not doing good. Her legs are splitting and she's spreading her wings out and flopping around and can't pick her head up. I feel sooo bad for my baby. I gave her food and water. She drank a little bit. She makes little cries too. So now that I think I figured out that she has Marek's, what do I do? Will she get better and be able to walk again? If so how long? Will she die? And what about my flock of 20 other birds. Will they all get sick too? Help!

I am sorry.
She may recover but it is probably unlikely.

You may wish to consider putting her down if she is not eating and drinking on her own.

It is highly likely your other birds may come down with the same symptoms.
