Based on the information from the father, that the chicken experienced shaking and stagger the possibility of experiencing stress or the possible indication of diseases such as Gumboro. However, to ensure that it needs to be supported by examination of other clinical symptoms, changes in anatomical pathology during carcass surgery and if necessary laboratory tests such as PCR (Polymerase Chain Reaction) in MediLab.
If the condition is caused by stress, then multivitamins such as Vita Stress. However, if the chicken from the results of surgical examination of the carcass or laboratory tests obtained a diagnosis that leads to Gumboro disease, namely by the discovery of changes in organs that have swelling or inflammation of the bursa fabriciusswelling of the kidneys and inflammation of the border between proventriculus and ventriculus. Here's what you can do in Gumboro :
