We have a 17 week old pullet (americana) that hops rather than runs, looks a bit deformed in wing and body shape.
Otherwise she's fine, no respiratory or other symptoms.
No signs of bumblefoot or other infections.
No changes in eyes, no true paralyzed body parts... is mareks progressive or sudden?
Droppings look normal.
Her size for age is similar to others in the group we bought.
I cant find on paperwork from hatchery that we paid for any vaccines - not fond of that ... so now I worry about Mareks. She can fly, can run... well hop, and walks fairly normal.
She's isolated, the pic isn't great but does give you a sense that the left and right side of body and wing aren't "held" the same way.
We arent cruel, if she can live we'll let her but will cull if mareks.
Any help with diagnosis or suggestions to rule out other ailments?
Can send more pics if specific in request.
Thanks!
