There are a number of things that occur to me from reading through this post....
I have concerns about their feed.... You mention black bits on grains.... is it a grain mix (rather than a pellet of crumble) you are feeding them.... you mention there is a lot of waste which would tie in with that. Birds will bill out and scratch through a grain mix to find and eat their favourite components which leads to a dietary imbalance and waste of the less preferred parts of the mix, usually the higher protein pulses. You mention that your hen has liver problems which is something these grain mixes can cause. It sounds like you give them two different types of feed..... if one is a grain mix, they will usually eat that in preference to a pellet or crumble simply because they can pick the "best bits" out. How do you offer the grain mix.... ie ad lib in a feeder or a small amount each day thrown down for them to scratch about for and clean up so that they are more likely to eat everything rather than starve... If they have another source of food, they are unlikely to eat up the less attractive components and their diet will be skewed.
Since you have a history with Marek's. this is the likely cause. You mention that the hen was harassing him and that was when he started getting wobbly
Marek's birds are often vulnerable to coccidiosis. The virus suppresses the immune system making them more prone to parasites and infections that stronger healthier birds would have resistance to. The Marek's itself will lie dormant sometimes for significant periods of time... weeks months or sometimes even years... but the immune system may be compromised even during that dormant phase. He is certainly the right age to be suffering from it.
To me, the blood and tissue at the root indicates that the feather has been plucked out. One of the photos appears to be a new feather still partially in it's sheath and my guess would be that it has been pulled out, probably by one of the other hens particularly if you have one that is harassing him. Just because you have not witnessed them pecking him, does not mean it has not happened and unless his feathers are falling out when you handle him, that is the most likely cause. Other birds will often pick on a sick bird and Marek's birds seem to be a common target.
I am not familiar with the products you are using because I am in the UK but I would recommend a good poultry vitamin supplement like Nutri Drench or Rooster Booster Poultry Cell and perhaps some little slivers of raw liver or meat to give him some iron and additional B vitamins as well as build up his protein. If he will not eat it whole, blend it and mix with his crumbles and a little water. Personally I would stop the grain mix (if you are using one) as it is difficult to provide them in a way that ensures a balanced diet.

It is common that birds will develop neurological issues with Marek's as a result of stress.I've never seen a hen like that before. She would spar with him and he would always go down on that leg
