Rooster with Tremors

[Eggcessive]

What is your general location? Do you have vet school with a poultry dept in your state where you could send the video for opinions? Tremors is neurological. It can be seen in some baby chickens up to 2 months old with avian encephalomyeopathy (AE) which is sometimes called epidemic tremors. Most chicks die, but survivors don’t usually have the tremors when they have recovered. Is there anything such as a toxin, weed killer, fertilizer, insecticide that he could get into? Does he get along okay besides having the tremors?

Apologies if the videos are amateurish. Yes my roo has has some sussex- faverolle characteristics mixed black orp.

I think the videos are just fine.

He's a handsome rooster!

Good suggestion about sending the videos to a vet school to see if they have any suggestions!

I'd still try vitamin therapy to see if that helps. I wish I had better ideas for you.

Are these episodes getting longer or more severe as time goes on? Or is it like they started one day and now they just happen all the time, but generally the same duration/severity?
