Scaly leg mites are super easy to treat, just smother the legs in vaseline or oil. Some people wash/scrub the legs with warm soapy water and/or epsom salt bath if they have it really bad but it is not necessary. Any oil should work but I was actually told that castor oil works the best, even better than Vaseline, because it gets way up under the scales and some say even one treatment works. I have just poured it on but that wastes a lot and doesn't get way up under the scales as easily so next time I'm going to get a toothbrush or paintbrush I think. I've put it on twice so far but it does seem to be helping. You can do it every week for a couple weeks or daily or whatever. But it usually doesn't take many treatments. You can also fill a bucket or something and dunk them in the oil. I would not recommend gasoline and some of those other treatments. It's dangerous and also you don't know what additives are in it. Gasoline isn't oure gasoline anymore. Plus it's just not necessary because the oil or Vaseline works so well and is so cheap.

X2 the castor oil. I think it is so much less messy than Vaseline. A little goes a long way imo.

Going through old pictures a friend put this one up a few years ago I hope he dosnt mind me sharing bit anyway.
Here's a gamecock for ya
This fella got a little more than he could handle thinking he was gonna have him a meal. It was his turn to get dragged in instead of him dragging.

Oh no. Do you think you forced the tube in too hard? How does a crop detach? You need to put her down already. Send her for a necropsy.

Idk how it detaches. I read that a detached crop is a symptom of advanced Marek's.
I need her alive today to take a live sample from her for testing.
After that I will call up the cheapest necropsy place I can find and get a quote, info on how to send her and then I will euthanize her and send her in. Then I can have two ways to test for Marek's.

We only have one bathroom and hubby would lose his shit if I moved the bator in there.
A dehumidifier is a big box that sucks up air and pulls moisture out and deposits it in a bucket. We run it in the basement to keep it from getting too damp.
Down to 57%

Sounds like

Resolving problem if he losses his shit he can pee
Outside!

Kidding. I kill me. . Maybe another small room that would be easier to climate
Control. Do you have a laundry room or even a
Closet you could
Put the gator
And dehumidifier in?

State lab is going to be the cheapest.
My thread has all 50 states lab's info including some prices...but you have to double check to make sure that they accept out of state birds.

Have fun! I love it. I didn’t believe standing still could be a workout but I was sore after my first class. It gets both easier and harder the more you do it. Don’t be afraid to modify the poses at first if you need to.

I wouldn't bother with the live sample thing.
A necropsy is good enough, probably better.
