Did I see the video what do u think about him now see how his leg is shaking :/?

His leg could be in a lot of pain. That could be why his leg is shaking like that. Little man shook all over for the first week, then he stopped doing it. However I knew it was due to the pain and the vet said the same thing when he went to touch his leg and he started to shake.

What do u think is it a sprain :/

 

[hildar]

Have you touched his leg??? If he is in that much pain it could even be a break. Look for the hot area in his leg and find out where it is.

I sort of did will it be on the fluffy part of his leg (the part which is feathered) or the actually scaly leg ?:/

It sounds like Mareks to me as well. Don't get upset with me but the tremors you report are what I call the dying shakes. Sorry.

Google "Mareks Disease tumors" for more information

When I felt little mans it was in the joint where the bend of his leg is. However until when you can really find out I would keep him separate. Now if it is a break or something like that in the thigh area it would be best to cull, however if its in the bend of the leg and is a sprain then that would be easier to take care of. However you need to really look for an ssue in the leg area, if you don't find any then go with the mareks diseas as an option. However chickens do shake when they are in pain, most animals do. Including humans.

So I should feel the leg (feathered) bend around his belly that bend?
