Hello! I was gifted a fluffy footed chicken from a neighbor and i discovered it is infested with lice. Im purchasing some permethrin and have been cleaning her with coconut oil and epson salt baths. Her feet are very swollen and I dont think it is bumblefoot as there is so scab at the bottom of...
I adopted a few ISA Browns about 6 months ago. They all had mild cases of bumblefoot that I treated, and it resolved.
They’ve all been fine until the last few weeks. I have one that’s begun limping. She will put both feet on the ground, but she definitely has a noticeable limp on one side.
I...
Hi all, I’m wanting to make some boots for my tiny pekin. She’s getting over a severe case of scaly leg & bumblefoot (I got her with these conditions last week).
I’ve found the little chicken booties online but no one in my country sells or makes them. I could buy them from overseas, but the...
I couldn't find much info online so hoping someone here has experience! I rescued a hen with a pretty bad case of scaly leg mites. The owner said she's had them for the entirety of the time she had the bird. Apparently they treated once with Vaseline and it didn't take care of the problem. It...
Hi all! So, these past two months have been very interesting. My dad found two baby chicks..one was ill…they turned out to be roosters , I couldn’t find a home for them so I ended up taking care of them for over a month. About a week ago, I finally found a place that would take them. Part of me...
I hope I am posting in the right place. Would someone be so kind to help me and take a look at these pictures to tell me if you think it’s scaly leg mite. First time chicken owner and I am not sure if this is early signs of scaly leg mites or not. Pictures online seem to be mostly severe cases...
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...
Hi guys, this is not something I usually do but I am so worried about our rooster I was just hoping to get some advice.
He is just over a year old and has not been himself for a good few months. We thought this was due to flockdown earlier this year but he still hasn’t seemed to have...
I have a neighbor with a small backyard flock. One of their chickens has an injured foot and mostly lays down.
I went over to look at it and got some pictures.
I want to help this chicken because these people are not properly taking care of her.
They are starving her and providing no water or...
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
So these are two of my chickens, Sophia and Blanche, they’re two years old and do not free range. This is the first experience of disease for me, and then. On 12/19/22 I started applying Vaseline and ordered ivermectin. I applied the ivermectin 12/27/22. Then someone said the faces are a...
I would like to treat it but I don't know if its scaly leg mites
After searching few images of it on google it's not scaly?
It's just gunky
Our chicken likes to play and use its feet a lot on sand or muddy area to dig up stuff...
Can u you help me?
My hen has a toe that is warm to the touch and swollen, and she does not like to stand on that foot. There appears to be a black scab forming on the underside of the swollen toe adjacent to the nail. You'll see from the photos that we've struggled with scaly leg mite infections this past winter...
