My Barred Rock hen is leaning right

Did the vet recommend any type of supportive care for her?
Not really because they know us. This vet has seen a bunch of our chickens this year because we have lost several to various other illnesses this year. And each one has been pampered until it was time to let them go.

My neighbor has had several bouts with mareks over the last two years. They pointed me to the attached FB group. I will spare all the details, but she recently had a couple with mareks(wing drop, paralyzed leg on one side) found the FB group, tried a remedy and one of hers was showing improvement, like standing again, but still did not survive. We are going to start our little girl on the oil today. At this point, why not. Also going to keep her on poultry cell and try to get raw egg into her every day for calories.

Sounds like a plan.

I've seen a few folks mention the FB Group and treatment. Hopefully this will help, and she will improve.
 
Quick update:
Her head is still layed back but she is stretching it our more. Yesterday she started scratching and pecking. She can now pick up food from the floor but still prefers getting fed like a toddler from a spoon. 😁 diet is currently soaked feed, bits of strawberry, Greek yogurt, and soldier fly.
 
UPDATE:
This baby girl has improved so much. She is singing egg song, doing wing and leg stretches, preening...normal chicken stuff. Her neck is still a little off, but so close to normal. She has graduated to eating regular feed. Still giving her extra stuff, like raw egg for some extra nutrients
. She still has poultry cell in the water and we have dropped back to 1.5ml of the tincture and started sprinkling the powder version of the chineese skull cap in her feed.

I'm glad to hear she's improving!

I do appreciate the update and details of treatment, this will be helpful to others.

Please continue to keep us posted on how she's getting along.
