Can anyone tell me if my dads hen & roosters legs are normal for their breed or do they have mites? There is no symptoms. I do not know what breed they are only thing I know is they are smaller than average chickens & she lays tiny eggs. None of his other chickens have this scaly looking like wool socks on look. Thanks

Welcome to BYC!

Looks like a pretty severe case of scaly leg mites. This one looks like it's lost a toe:

Ahhh okay. I don't think their scales are that bad but I'm not sure. One of them has it worse than the others I think. I can try to get pictures of their legs tomorrow or Friday. I'm glad the bath isn't necessary because I was worried how I was going to accomplish that haha

Wow I had no idea castor oil was so superior! I definitely want to use that instead then! And I'll save the Vaseline for my dry hands

Save the vaseline for squeaky doors and use castor oil on your skin.
