The trembler chickens, which spontaneously occurred in the Poultry farm of Animal Genetics Laboratory of Nagoya University, showed the phenotypic symptoms as of the tremor of the head, neck and body. Mild symptoms of shaking were observed in most of the day-old affected chicks, but this sign will be kept calm during 1-4 weeks old. Subsequently, trembling became clearly evident. Progressing with age, the trembling severely increased inducing the chickens to walk with a stumbling gait. In the terminal stages the chickens were hardly to stand and die from inanition. Mating experiments between half-sib and sire-daughter have revealed that the responsible gene (tr) for the trembler chicken is an autosomal recessive gene.
