These are some old dudes for sure! I really don't know, these guys are confusing me. The second one *could* be a Welsummer, I've seen some with cream legs (hatchery quality). The first one I have no idea, I'd say australorp, but that doesn't seem like a straight comb to me. Could you get some better pictures of them?

They are beautiful mixed breeds.

Yeah ok. I agree, if not the second, then definitely the first is a mix

They look like barnyard mixes to me! Gorgeous birds!

The second one does appear to have a pretty good case of scaley leg mites. Not sure if that is something you're aware of or not.

Petroleum jelly. Smother it on the legs

This is the easiest way. Suffocates the mites and the eggs.

You can also dip their legs in rubbing alcohol prior to applying the PJ. This will speed up the healing. Id recommend it in this case because it looks pretty severe.

If they mean or you're unfamiliar with them, you can wrap them up in a towel, leaving the legs exposed. You can easily control them and with their Heads covered they will naturally settle down.

Be careful because they have some serious spurs and know how to use them. While you have them there, you can attempt to remove the spurs if you'd like. It doesn't hurt them, but helps with overall health. Here is a video showing how to do that.
