Easiest treatment for Scaly Leg is CAMPHO PHENIQUE from the Drug Store. Use an eyedropper. Hold leg up and let it drip down each toe and then up the legs to the hock.
Unlike greasy treatment, that may not go completely under scales, Campho Phenique will flow under the scales,snuff the mites, and if a mild infection, will leave the legs and feet clean, smelling nice, and one treatment will do the job. Bad cases, use twice a week, and take several weeks--that is all. If untreated, poor birds can lose toes and suffering..........For Show birds, it is nice to clean legs and feet, and no chance of being infected with scaly leg mites from a Show cage
And it is nice for minor scrapes for people--what is is designed for.....
