That doesn't quite look like a Marek's paralysis to me.
I have had one 9 week old present with the classic paralysis. Limp one day that progressed rapidly each day until by day 4 it was dragging the leg behind it and suffering from progressive weakness in general.
If you haven't noticed it worsening or if he isn't dragging in behind it and 'knuckling' the toes under I'd suspect something else is going on.
The only way you will know though is by doing a follicle test like suggested or finding a vet that is definitely chicken savvy. Would you by chance have a Veterinary teaching college near you? That would be what I would be looking for.
Rooting for Barry!
