Is this Marek’s Disease

[Malkitty]

I am a new chicken owner and one of my silkies,8 weeks old, started limping last week. I thought it was an injury and wrapped the leg for 5 days. That did nothing and then she started to lose the use of her other leg. And now it seems to be her head. I took a video. I have had her separated since I noticed the issue. I have had all my chickens on poultry cell since day one. I’m using a syringe to give her poultry cell and water. Im giving her magnesium baths to keep her clean. I’m hand feeding her chick starter food and scrambled eggs with nutritional yeast for b12. Please let me know if I should be doing something else! Thank you everyone!

Is the skin around her feather follicals rough? Does she seem to have bad vision? Can you post a picture of her eyes? And is she eating and drinking by herself?

In the past two days, it has seemed that she can no longer drink and eat by herself because she has lost all control of both legs. I took a video of her, but I’m not seeing where I can post it. Her skin appears to be normal when checked for mites. Her toes are not curling. I don’t see any signs of bumble foot. She seems to have her eyes closed a lot recently.

To post a video, you have to upload it to YT, or similar, and then copy and paste the link.
I'm not much help though I'm afraid.

Try just taking photos, then you should be able to post them.

Not necessarily for mites, just to see if the skin is dry and rough at the feather follicals. It's sounding an awful lot like Marek's, I'm really sorry!

Sometimes I find her upside down. She’s just loosing control of her body

The poor thing! It looks really young too. I don't have much experience with Marek's, but it looks like I would of imagined it. Sorry I'm not much help.

Silkies are prone to wry neck, she needs real vitamin supplements, fast.
400i.u vitamin E capsule and about a third of a B complex tablet every day for a few weeks.

I'm definitely thinking Marek's.
