Just spray there feet them put some Vaseline on after that. I would treat all of them and keep changing there bedding. I would treat with the flea spray 2-3 times a week and every day with the Vaseline.

Should I wrap his stump in some kind of material or something? Im not sure how long he has gone without his foot? previous owner didnt have much info to give :(

 

And thanks for the advice! I will start treating ASAP! Can I spray something around their coop too to kill mites? or just changing the bedding? Thank you all for the info!

Change the bedding.  Spray with the Adam's over everything...cracks are where they like to hide.  I also like to dust everything with Sevin dust.  Then replace the bedding.

You should be able to get 5% Sevin dust at any Walmart.  It's in their gardening section.  It's a red bag or container of powder.

Thank you very much, since this last post I got some vaseline (Bag Balm) and I am also going to get some seven dust, and veggie oil to dip their legs in. I need to look for some flea spary, and then I'll be set to go! Thanks!
