Roosters feet shaking.

[chicken4prez]

Hi all.


Monday I got a Mille Fleur d'Uccle 12 week old cock and when the people I got him from handed him over I noticed that his feet was shaking like he was cold. I thought nothing of it because he was nervous going to a new home but he hasn't really stopped since.

Other than that he's been crowing normal and eating and drinking normal too. Should I just leave it or is there something I can do to help him?

Thanks.

At 12 weeks are all his feet feathers grown in? I would check them over good and see if there's anything that could be causing pain.

They are all grown in. At the base of the feathers it is red inside his skin though. Do you think that could be the problem?

No, that's pretty normal. Perhaps it's from nerves. I guess I would see if it stops after he gets more comfortable being at his new house.

Will do. I'll keep you posted.
