Bantam chick has tremors

[Tiffy316]

I recently noticed that one of my old English game bantam chicks has tremors. She's eating and drinking, as well as running around the broader with the rest of the chicks. Apart from the shaking, she seems fine. I gave her some poultry cell and checked the others. So far, she's the only one with tremors. Any ideas about what could be causing this and how I can help her?

How often are the tremors happening? Does she do it when you hold her or all of the time? How old is she? You might want to continue the Poultry Cell daily, and get some human vitamin E softgels, and give 1 daily for a couple of weeks. That is good for neurological issues.

She's constantly shaking. It looks kinda like exaggerated shivering. She's about 1 1/2 months old. She's pretty small, you know how bantam chocks are. I'm not sure if I should give her a whole pill.

I would try to give half of the softgel orally. It cannbe punctured, or you could give 1 every other day, while continuing the Poultry Cell 1 ml daily. Vitamin E is fat soluble, so it remains in the body fat from day to day. Has she been doing this long? Does she act cold? Has she had any problems staying on her feet, or falling? Is she eating chick starter grower feed normally?

Here is a good article about vitamin E deficiency and tremors:

As far as I know, she's only been doing it for a few days. She's not cold, the shaking just kinda reminds me of shivering. She seems to be able to stay on her feet just fine, apart from constantly shaking, and she's eating and drinking normally.
