    Lazy chicken?

    I’m concerned my chicken might have mareks disease. She can walk. But just prefers to lay on her side. But not in the way the chickens do when they sun themselves. She just prefers to lay down and eat her food etc. I’m not sure how she would have gotten in. She is in with a vaccinated hen and...
