Leg scales, possibly

I brought my hen in today she was puffed up on the rafter. I gave her an Epson soak, I put vaseline on her legs, I put Mushers on her crest. I thought maybe eggbound. She wasn’t, electrolytes, poultry cell, kept her in. After a few hours she was declining. I noticed her crest changing colors and looked a little swollen. She ended up passing. I failed her. From picture is this what leg mites look like? Tomorrow I’ll check the others if it is mites. How do I treat these; I did use bag chopped straw, could this have caused this, if that is what it is?

It’s doesn’t look like scaly leg mites. What are her living conditions, diet, etc.?
They are in an enclosed run with clear plastic, vent at top. rafters and roosting bars, I feed some scrapes, protein from kitchen 24/7 AllFlock, Feather Fixer mixed with Klambachs Henhouse and BSF larvae, BOSF Seeds. I tagged you in a video, of living conditions I made few days ago
 
Sorry for your loss.Did her comb appear to be pecked or frostbitten? If you still have her body, I would keep it cold, not frozen, and send it off to your state vet tomorrow. Are the others looking normal? She did have some scaly leg mites, but I would worry about something contagious. Here is a link to your state vet lab to contact:
