Injury or Mareks?

[Latkie]

I have a 12 ish week old Salmon faverolle who has neurological signs. She has what looks like a bruise under her right wing so I want to lean towards an injury but I’m worried about Mareks. She has a droopy right wing and splayed right leg. The odd time she sits up she is plantigrade. She’s eating and drinking and has been like this for 3-4 days now. Pale comb. Unsure of her poops but I also think she’s lost weight probably because it’s hard to coordinate getting to the feeder. I make sure to check on her and hand feed her as often as I can though. I want to take her to the vets but in the meantime I wanted to know other people’s thoughts. Thank you in advance. I have had two other salmon faverolles mysteriously die in the past two weeks but they didn’t present the same. All other chickens are acting absolutely fine

Her right leg turned out to the side looks very abnormal. Did she always walk normally with straight legs? Chickens can have leg bone deformities that worsen as they grow. Those include varus or valgus deformity and twisted tibia. She also might have been injured. I would make her a chicken sling to see if that can help her get to food a little easier, and then let her have periods of rest out of the sling. Look at posts Here is a link to see:

I don’t think she ever had any issues with walking before. I didn’t look too closely for minor twists but she use to run and hop around no problem. I love the sling ideas and will build something for her. Thank you for sharing!

What is this photo of, the leg or wing?

Can you take some more?

I’ll try and get more later today when I have an extra pair of hands but at the 11 o’clock position is the base of her wing and at the bottom is her right leg.

There’s some new photos. I can place her on her side and she doesn’t fight. The bruise seems to be smaller and a couple times she’s tried to stand but she’s not really getting better. I will build her a sling with the materials I’ve gathered and make sure she is eating and drinking. Hopefully I can figure out what is wrong with her so I can help her faster

It's odd isn't it.

Hopefully she'll improve with the sling, but I agree the leg is at an odd angle. Possibly she's injured it, but of course there's Marek's too.
