Six week old bantam dark Brahma legs shaking

[Donna Jeanne]

Thanks. I culled the third one yesterday. Progressively worse shaking and off balance. Nothing changed. I had run some meds and vitamins just in case, but it just persists and worsens. I am thinking that it looks a lot like avian encepholomyelitis like Eggcessive mentioned. Don’t want to have to pay $50 for a narcropsy though. It’s only within the bantam dark brahmas. Stinks because they’re so beautiful and I feel horrible doing it. And pretty upset that people sell eggs from chickens who can pass these diseases down. Not only is it horrible that it causes death within the chicks, but it’s a danger to the flock and creates a situation where I have to cull birds which is always difficult.

I'm so sorry
