I discovered a superior treatment for scaly leg mites last summer. I had a nine-year-old Light Brahma with a very painful case. They kept recurring after being treated with castor oil and a commercial leg mite spray.
I decided to mix up a warm soak with Elector PSP )spinosad. I was able to soak the legs as well as the feet for several minutes, really getting the stuff up under the scales, which is difficult to do with most other topical treatments.
It killed the leg mites, and the scales returned to normal in record time. Best of all, my hen was a whole lot more comfortable almost immediately.
