Was this bird vaccinated against Marek's disease ?
Yes, the farm gives that vaccine to all its chicks.
Did you add any Vitamins to her feed ?
No. She and the 3 other hens get a commercial "lay pellets" blend.

1-Marek's

2-Vitamin B2 Deficiency
Any joint swellings ?
Is it likely she'd exhibit a kind of recovery (foot straightening out, better walking) and still have Marek's?

I see.
I think I will let another expert to come and answer to this question since this is all I have for now. There might be another experts with other ideas. Is it o.k with you ?
