My favorite hen Sophie (Porcelain d'Uccle-see avatar) is now 3 years old. I can't figure out why but when I hold her she shivers uncontrollably. She has been doing this for about 2 years, but it never seems to bother her. I tried setting her down, but she still does it. She just shakes (more in her feet) then stops, then shakes, then stops....
I don't know if this is relevant but: She lays regularly in the spring and fall but not through the summer or winter that I know of. I just gave them the lice treatment (Sevin-5%) and do every two weeks. It is about 105 degrees and the only rain we've had lately was a sprinkle about 3 weeks ago. She has been eating and drinking normally and I feed them, a mixture of 25 scratch/75 layer and they have food in their feeder at all times. Any ideas what causes this?
