    Scaly leg mites??

    I walked out in my coop this morning, and noticed that my Barred Rock’s feet looked a little odd. After some google searches, I’m thinking it’s scaly leg mites. Thoughts? Also, if it is mites, how would I best treat this? I suppose a bath and Vaseline maybe. I would prefer not to use Ivomec or...

    Scaly leg?! Maybe?!

    I've been told one of my girls looks like she has scaly leg! Does she really? I tried looking at pictures online and hers look nothing like that. I looked at her legs for a minute to see if I could see anything moving. :( im really worried :oops:

    Scaly Leg Mites

    So until today when I just found out about leg mites I believed this to just be dry skin. I know I post a lot about illnesses, hopefully I don't seem like the boy who calls wolf, but are these mites? Thank you for any help!

    Is this normal or is something wrong?

    I can’t tell if my caramel brahmas have scaly leg mites/something else wrong or if this is what brahmas’ feet are supposed to look like. Thanks!!!

    Sick and Squeaky Chicken

    I have one chicken that seems to be sick. Her legs are scaly so I am treating her for scaly leg mites, but she is also squeaky. That is the only sound she makes. This morning I noticed that when other chickens bolt for the food, this one walks around, is interested in it, but lets the others...

    Treating Scaly Leg Mites

    I recently noticed that a couple of my quail have what appears to be scaly leg mites. Since these are supposed to be contagious, I've been treating all my birds as a precaution by coating their legs in vegetable/coconut oil every other day and adding food-grade diatomaceous earth to the coop. My...

    The scales on my hens' feet near the nail are raised. Is this an early stage of scaly leg mites? Pardon their dirty feet-it just rained. :) If it is scaly leg mites, I heard you can use gasoline and A&D ointment to get rid of them. (?!)...

    I'm working on my first case of treating Scaly Leg Mite. I got to somewhere on page 30 of 50+ pages of advice on this excellent forum.

    No eggs for a month after going broody?

    I have two hens. The Partridge Chanticleer is my regular egg layer, laying about 6 eggs a week. She has had issues this summer. First she had worms, but her egg production continued throughout that. We saw a vet and treated her and she seemed fine after. Then about a month after the worms...

    Hello! I have three hens and just discovered that one of them, my Light Brahma, has scaly leg mites.

What can I do to prevent it from happening again? All my girls are acting normal and seem otherwise healthy. I'm hoping I can get this...
