Injured pullet advice?

[aart]

Should I keep her buddy pullet in the crate with her? She seems much more relaxed with her buddy and the buddy didn't seem to mind.

Tough call. If the buddy is not stressed, leave her in there too.

I'm going to follow @aart 's recommendation and give her a little test each day before dark to see how she's recuperating. I'm moving the crate to the coop shortly so she'll only be away from the flock for one day.

Thanks again

If it was my bird, I would keep them together.

Before moving the crate to the coop, I did another exam. She has some mess around her vent, so I cleaned her up and felt for sensitive spots. She shows no signs of discomfort. When I placed her back in the crate - she flopped sideways and I noticed she was dragging her left foot behind her - looked like paralysis to me. Her comb is pale and a little floppy.
So - should I be thinking Marek's? Even though I know that if it's Marek's, the whole flock is already exposed, should I leave her in the crate in the warmer garage (50s vs teens) she is eating and drinking now that she has a companion. I know we me or less have to ride it out to see how she does, or cull if I sense too. much suffering.

About to start reading more threads - but any and all advice appreciated.

That would be sad if it was Mareks. But that is best diagnosed after death with a necropsy and testing by your state poultry vet. I would leave her in the coop since all chickens would have been exposed already from the same source that she was (if it is Mareks.) A poultry vitamin with riboflavin, or some human vitamin B complex addded to her food would be good. Here are some good articles about Mareks:

Thank you for the links. She's doing much better today. Eating and drinking and upright on her legs rather than resting on her breast. Very confusing on what's going on - but the crate is now in the coop and we'll see how the next few days go.
Thanks again.
