Needing advice for my chickens

Sorry. My friend had 3 house chickens, 2 serama 5 yr. old hens, and one silkie 5 yr.hen.

Silkies and seramas tend to be very suspectible to Mareks. Only the silkie was allowed outside where she may have caught the disease- and then brought it to the others. She lost all 3, one day apart- same symptoms. Couldn't stand yet would eat well if she hand fed them.
 
I don't believe the Mareks vaccination can prevent it - or no one would be having this happening in their flocks. It is thought it may lessen the symptoms but, any survivors would carry Mareks for their lifetime.
