Are your chicks separated?

Yes, everyone is separated, chicks at ten to sixteen weeks in one thing, anything older in another and the week olds are in the brooder

If you haven't already, you should clean out the coop he was in, mareks is highly contagious.

On that website I posted it said that if your flock isn't vaccinated then chances are 60% will get sick and a large majority wont recover

Yeah, it’s been a week I think and no one else has showed any signs of illness... he was on the other side of the yard an I already cleaned the coop

Sounds like it might be under control. It's lucky that he was the only one.
