I have a turken chick that is about 2 months old. She has been in my brooder box since she hatched. She is in with several different birds of different ages. I looked in the brooder a few minutes ago and noticed she was tremoring all over and can't hardly stand or walk. I brought her inside and her feet keep slipping out from under her on the vinyl floor from the tremors. After being inside for a while, the tremors weren't as bad, but were still there. I took her outside, thinking some sunshine might help, but the heat stressed her and the tremors became much worse. If she is still, they are noticible, but if she tries to walk or gets scared/ unsure, the tremors are terrible. She has no other symptoms. I fed everyone chick starter a little earlier, and her crop was full, poo looks normal, no nasal discharge, sneezing, or other symptoms. Any ideas or treatments I can try?

I have the same issue going on right now with an approximately an 8 week old! Did you ever make any discoveries? I don’t know what to do? I’ve worked, B12 shot, extra protein, probiotics.

Welcome to BYC. This is a very ancient thread, so the OP may not be online anymore. Did the tremors just start in your chicken? Usually, AE which is a virus, begins within the first 2 weeks of life, and many die. I would try some human vitamin E 400 IU daily, since that can help with some neurological conditions.
