scale mites

HELP please!! My flock has scaly leg mites BUT I can’t use the recommended topical treatment or procedures since they are deathly afraid of me and I can’t catch them. What do I /can I do aside from letting them suffer:(

Hello everyone, My 8 year old hen has pretty raised scales on her feet and legs. I'm suspecting it is scaly leg mites, but wanted others opinions if you agree with this assumption. Also, I have a new flock of 11 week old chicks near her, they are separated by chicken wire however so they're not...

I just took in a chicken that someone needed to rehome because she lived in an apartment. I noticed the front of her legs looked slightly calloused? I wasn’t sure if this was due to being inside or if she has scaly leg mites? Thank you

Hi everyone - new chicken keeper here. Our gals are 8 months old and coming into their first winter up here in Canada. When I was out changing the water this morning, I noticed our CCL legs look a bit thicker than the other hens. They were always thicker but this seems even more thicker than...

I usually check my girls really good at least 2x a week... if not daily for anything odd.

Either I am completely paranoid (fingers crossed) or I am having some very bad chicken luck lately. Have had a slew of issues (older birds that are 1&1/2 have had parasites (treated), and one dropped dead). I have a new batch birds now all about 18 weeks. One of them is limping. Does it look...

Hello! I was wondering if the crusty ends on some of her scales are indicative of scaley leg mites.

My light Brahma roo starting limping 4-5 days ago. Treated him for scaly leg yesterday, no real improvement today. He's a big guy and still eating, drinking, crowing and watching his ladies just hopping on one leg and pawing at the air with the other. Sits from time to time because he's tired...

# days of treatment. Dosage? How many repeated treatments required. Mite has limited survival w/o host poultry.

Someone please help! I was outside cleaning my chickens pen when I noticed one of my older chickens (8years old) was limping so I went over to check it out and I noticed some weird lump/growth things... I researched it and I think it could be scale mites or unfortunately bumblefoot!:(( I put...
