Strange Foot Condition

post #1 of 8
Thread Starter 

A few chickens in my flock have this strange foot problem, it makes the scale on their feet stick up and eventually they fall of and their toes start getting infected...I was recre,ended to use some detole to get rid of this suposed foot fungus but I am not really sure what it is. Some people say it's foot mites and others say its a fungas or warts...

Helen: Daria, do you have to look at everything in such a negative light?

Daria: Could you possibly be referring to the harsh light of reality?

Welcome to BYC. Sounds like scaley leg mites. Rub vaseline on their legs to smother the mites. It might take a month or so to completely get rid of them.

I agree with Dawg, sounds like leg mites

              Can anyone tell me, how many are too many chickens?
