My hen became lame and after calling around to everywhere I could think of and searching the internet, I determined it was scaley mites (her scales were lifting on the lame leg). I couldn't find a vet in my area who would see a chicken. I treated her for mites with flea and tick spray on the leg ( I didn't want to use the powder) only 1 1/2 times because I didn't like the idea of it and vaseline for about a week. Instead of getting better it got worse. The toes started to get black and now they are falling off. I know it sounds like frost bite but it had warmed up above freezing already when this happened. The worse thing is now my rooster is limping. There is nothing visibly wrong with his leg. Someone PLEASE HELP. I have been on the phone all day and nobody has any answers.
