I'm very new to this and I'm not sure how to figure out what is wrong. Yesterday when I let my girls out, I noticed that one of my Buff Orpingtons wasnt roaming as much as my other 2 chickens and she kept closing her eyes. She was getting around fine and went in last night and slept up on the roost. Today I found her hunched over. She can lift her head up but it slowly falls down to the ground. She's not moving and closing her eyes a lot. I separated her from the other 2 because they were tramping on her and she would holler. She's about 8 months old and has not started laying yet. Any advice or info you could give would be much appreciated! Also, we have had what we're fairly certain was a Marek's outbreak. This chicken was supposed to be vaccinated, but I guess that could still be the culprit? Please help!
