Legs Turning Red

[Dogs Cows Chicken]

I have 6 chickens. 2 wyandottes, minorca, austrolorp, barred rock (all about 22 weeks old) and a 2yo Leghorn.

Yesterday morning I noticed one wyandotte's legs turning red. Like individual scales on legs and feet. I noticed the same on the other Wyandotte and my Leghorn at bedtime last night. No change in behavior at all except they might be a little more talkative.

I read that this could be either scaldings from their bedding compost(deep litter) being too hot or beginning Stages of pox. I'm going to change bedding today.

I couldn't get Clear pics , but I'll try again.

Does anyone have experience with this or know where to look for information?

All advice is appreciated.

May also be hormonal changes and nothing to worry about.

Can you post pics of the legs in question?

I will do my best. I haven't been able to get clear shots yet.

Must have been either hormones or hot bedding. I replaced the bedding and it cleared up.
