scaly leg

Hi there, Does this look like scaly leg mites? I was looking at my rooster's spurs and noticed that his legs don't look quite as smooth as I was expecting. I can't say I noticed them looking really smooth lately, but I was a bit concerned when I saw them. He is about 2 years old and otherwise...

We live in the desert and my poor chicken has these awful cracked feet. Our environment is a mix of dirt/sand with various desert weeds and they have regular outside grazing time whenever my husband or I is home. I’ve looked through pictures of scaly leg mites and bumbles and neither seem to be...

Hi there, My Silkie rooster (“Poof daddy”) has fallen ill again for some reason! The flock just recovered for coccidiosis. Poof daddy was hit hard and was in the chicken hospital (our house) for 4 days. He made a recovery. Two days ago I noticed him being lethargic and hunched over again...

Hey BYC, My husband and I adopted 3 hens today. They all look healthy, are eating, and are adjusting to our backyard (separate from our existing flock of 11) just fine. The problem is that one of the girls we adopted seems to have a serious foot problem. The people we adopted her from said...

My hens have had this for a while now.... I think its scaly leg mites? What's a good treatment? Ivermectin injectable (orally or some drops on the back of their neck?) Scarlex Rubbing alcohol (on their feet) I have a flock of 15 hens, so I really would like something other than the long...

I've had my first 'flock' of two bantam chickens for about 4 months now, and they'd be about 8 months old - so I'm still very much a newbie. One of them starting looking a bit lethargic four days ago, and hadn't laid an egg in about 4 days before that (they usually lay every other day), with no...

Hello! I'm brand new to this site and fairly new to chickens (4 years). I had a hen show up in my goat pen about 4 months ago, couldnt figure out where she came from as none of my neighbors recognized her as theirs. She was small and thin and has a massive amount of feathers on her legs. Fast...

Hey y’all! I was just curious is this scaly leg mites on my 3 month old polish rooster? Or is it just an injury he may of encountered while in his coop.

I recently got three Rhode Island Whites (I think) all at point of lay, one of them had swollen feet which has turned out to be scaly leg, which I am treating all of them for. However in the last week she's developed what I thought was scaly face (a google told me it was possible but not common...

Hi everyone, I was taking care of my girls scaly legs last night (the constant battle) and noticed that the sole of my welsummers foot is very cracked. Is this something that can be caused by scaly leg mites or maybe the beginnings of bumblefoot? She doesn’t appear to be in pain or discomfort...

Hi BYC community, Can I get your thoughts? In the summer, our oldest hen, a two and a half year old Wyandotte (otherwise in good health), had what we thought were some signs of Scaly Leg. We tried to treat it by covering her legs in Vaseline on a few seperate occassions. We took a picture of...

Hello there, So I'm new to chicken raising, and I majorly screwed up. In my mixed flock of 11, I have two Brahmas..a rooster and a hen. Both of them have scaly leg. All the other chickens are fine. It's my fault, I neglected to clean the roost as often as I should have. Here's what's going...

I currently keep 15 coturnix quail in a 4x8 aviary, which sits on the ground (but the entire bottom is also covered in wire mesh to keep predators out, with a layer of bedding on top). I've been using the deep litter method for the past 8 months and have overall been very happy with it, but I...

so my friend finally took the dive into birds and she got bit... hard :( The person insisted she drop them off and when they came my friend thought they looked sick. 14 assorted chickens and 2 Muscovys. She sent pics and I told her she had 2 drakes. She didn’t want the drakes so I came over...
