Hello
Our rooster is limping and has sore red feet.
He has red skin in between his toes and sores. It looks to me like scaly leg mites from what I’ve seen online, but would love some advice please? I’ve attached photos

Welcome To BYC

It does look like SLM and possibly a bit of infection, maybe from him picking at his feet or from an impacted feather follicle.

On the right foot, looks like there may be a feather that needs to be teased out (maybe 2), you'll have to take a better look at that.
On the left foot, looks like a feather is broken and he's likely picking at that, you may need to pluck that broken one out.

After you tend to the feet, swab well with Chlorhexidine, then apply a little triple antibiotic ointment to those places. For the rest of the feet/toes/legs, I'd use Nustock cream, working it up underneath the scales.
You'll want to keep him on clean dry bedding.

I'd tend to his feet daily if possible.

Do the bottom of the feet look o.k.?
