Thank you for everyone’s help. Unfortunately she died sometime during the night last night. We are trying to get a necropsy done to figure it out.

I'm sorry that you lost her
Refrigerate the body and contact your state lab - I think yours is through Clemson, but located in Columbia. They likely have a shipping label you can print too - sometimes it's good to call and talk to the lab, they will tell you what they want. If you don't mind sharing the results when the come back it would be appreciated, we all may learn something.

Thank you, we contacted them this morning and are taking her there now so I’ll post an update.

Initial suspension is lymphoid leukosis but definite histopath results will be back Thursday or Friday. I’m so discouraged by this!

I'm sorry to hear that diagnosis. Hopefully the full report will have more information.
@azygous has dealt with LL in her flock, so she may be able to give you some good information in managing the disease.

Had this diagnosis too, via photos of tumors, no labs done.
Was told it's pretty darn common, just like Mareks.

I am sorry for your loss.

Here is some reading material about the disease.

Having LL in your flock isn't the end of everything as you know it. LL is something chickens in strong health can develop resistance to. I feed fermented feed for optimum nutrition, and keep a pristine coop and run to keep bacteria at a minimum. This increases the ability of my chickens to resist the disease and not become symptomatic. I have some of the oldest hens, oldest being nine, ten, and eleven, and they've been in very good health their whole lives.

There's no reason not to expect the same for your flock.

Now they think it is Mareks but they are still waiting on more results next week.

Well, it sounds like they are being thorough.
I know it must be frustrating waiting on results, but hang in there
