Silkie can’t walk

[Adnoj]

I have a Silkie chicken about 9 months old that over the past month it’s legs have become completely useless. It got a little worse every day. I’m not sure if it’s a rooster or hen. It also sways it’s head back and forth when eating as if it’s trying to get food to go down correctly. It shows no other symptoms other than can not walk because it has absolutely no balance. But otherwise seems ok. I have had it separated for a while. O first thought maybe my other chicken had caused injury but it has been separated for a month and not getting better.I am giving every vitamin that I have read about to give. Sometimes my Silkie will have liquid coming back out of mouth. This just started a few days ago. Anyone know what this could be?

Hi there, sorry your Silkie is sick. I am sorry to say, but I am afraid this could be Marek's. Is a vet an option?

No vet option, I have googled Mareks because that was my first thought but when I hold my chicken up it can move it’s legs so they are not paralyzed. I also wonder if it’s a spine injury. If my other chickens may have hurt it because he is otherwise fine

@aart might know what is wrong, I am personally stumped. Never happened to one of my birdies! Fingers crossed it is okay!

@aart might know what is wrong,

Nope, Sorry, I'm not much good at sick chickens.
I would listen to @casportpony .
