In the Brooder

She could have very well gotten it from us but I’m not clear on how it’s transferred. They don’t interact with my outside hens, and they live inside in a clean brooder.
My new concern is, she lives in a brooder with two other chicks, 6 weeks old, that came from a real hatchery, (they were introduced to the EE when I suspected it was just a vitamin deficiency) and they have been vaccinated for Mareks, etc. but I’ve read the Mareks vaccine isn’t a formidable defense against the disease. So to not risk my adult hens to possible exposure, do I cull and start over?
I don’t want to have to, but my older girls are more precious to me than the chicks.
Thanks for the help.
