Please help - trembling chicken

[TwoLittleDuccleChicks]

I have a rooster who is one year old he’s a Barnum belgium d’uccle and I love him so much. I’ve noticed more so recently that he tends to have a tremble when he stands I’m not sure if it’s because he’s watching out or something but it’s sort of in his upper legs and tail feathers. He is healthy apart from that, his comb is red, he’s eating normally, plays around etc but it’s just the trembles. He has it when I hold him as well when he was younger I thought it was him “purring” but now I can see it when he’s standing as well. He does have an early case of scaly mites which we are treating with Avicate or something that the vet gave me and Vaseline. I could tell his feet were irritating him. The vet said it might be cause by his big feet feathers and that’s why he trembles as he’s working hard with the wind resistance? Anything would help I’m really concerned.

I doubt this VERY MUCH. Vet just doesn't have an answer, and made that one up on the fly.
You can trim the feet feathers, and see if it improves. Careful not to clip into the blood vein.
Your rooster is a living creature, and could have a condition, that there is no cure for. As long as healthy otherwise, just enjoy him totally.
