Ok...I will try not to make this a long story. I purchased some bantam cochin hens and unfortunately did NOT know I purchased scaly leg mites! Their poop appears to be normal. Diet: Purina flock raiser, mixture of different treats. Housing/Bedding: Coop with pine shavings/covered run. They do not free range. I have been treating for sometime now (several months).
The following is different things I have tried: Wazine (unaware if they had been treated for any type of worms), followed by vaseline on their feet (very hard since feet are covered in feathers), cleaned the entire coop/replaced bedding....sprayed coop with Permetrol (Permethrin 10%) including roost, used Iver-on Ivermectin pour-on (5mg ivermectin/ml) 2 weeks following Wazine (3 drops to back of neck on skin), dusted coop/bedding with Hi Yield Poultry Dust (Permethrin 0.25%) and dusted chickens, used wood ashes in coop/nest box/run, also tried Adams flea/tick spray. I failed to mention that I had also soaked/washed their feet in Epsom salt/small brush when the weather was warmer. I have read/researched and treated until I don't know what else to do for these girls. I do have chickens that are with them and next to the run....they have also been treated but thank goodness no signs on them but I'm sure it will probably happen to the rest of my flock. Hopefully I have included all the information needed. Any recommendation needed!
and, Yes I know it looks terrible...that's why I am asking for help!
