Yes

Maybe its from the Candleitis

I like @Ur-ur-ur-urrr idea
It's hereditary... and simple tasks can trigger the tremors. Gotta give him props, he doesn't let it slow him down...

It is possible but  bit unlikely as If they came with what ever is causing this it would be happening to others, and  we would be hearing about 1000's of chicks dropping all over BYC.

I know it is tough, but I would wait a while before getting more birds. Let what ever is causing this leave your home and property. Rebuild your coops and start again MUCH later. Maybe even get eggs or chicks from someone you know and trust to have no health issues. 

I got exposed to mycoplasma synoviae. I t is only supposed to persist for two weeks in the environment and I got a spray to treat the coop after scrubbing, the ground, feed barrels,etc.
I agree though that if this persists it is time to wait a while.
 
I don't know. I will be calling to ask. Especially since it's just their chicks. I put 12 of them downstairs in a Tupper with my four two week old Lavender Orpingtons from a different hatchery, and the rest upstairs with a Tupper that had not been used for chicks with a new light. The shipped chicks are the only ones dying at this point and the symptoms are the same.
My worry now is for my new LO because I figured they would be safe from a clean hatchery and they would be a blended flock. I can only hope it does not prove to be a fatal error there too.
I keep hand sanitizer by the door upstairs and downstairs at the bathroom to use before and after.

Oh goodness, that does sound like something from the source... Let us know what they say. At this point, perhaps you should pursue a necropsy (I think you can get them free in some states).
