Limping hens

[Lbm2003d]

I had a banty chick that started limping, this progressed to her being unable to walk at all and because she struggled so I put her down. Now I have a second with the same symptoms. I isolate them as soon as I see any sign of illness but have no idea of what is going on here. I suspect it is something neurological but am fearful it will spread. Does anyone have any idea if what is going on here? Vent is clear, no nasal drainage, she is eating and drinking.

How old is the chick? This sounds a bit like Marek's disease to me. Here is a thread that details the symptoms of Marek's: https://www.backyardchickens.com/a/the-great-big-giant-mareks-disease-faq

Without a doubt! After reading the long FAQ. I am pretty certain. Thanks so much.

Your state vet can do testing and a necropsy to confirm Mareks if you can ship your chicken to them if she dies. Sorry for your loss.
