Is something bothering their legs/feet? What do normal chicken feet look like? I feel like it’s most noticeable on my BO but I can’t get the greatest pictures. I also notice it on my red girl (not sure what she is exactly). Is this the start of something bad? I never knew chickens could worry me so much lol

I sprayed their roost and pen with permethrin mix in case it was mites. Thanks for any advice you can give ❤️

It doesn't look like mites. It could be normal coloring, or they may be rubbing their legs on something, since it's kind of in the same place on all of them. I really don't think it's anything to worry about. Scaly leg mites will have noticeably raised scales, buildup of gunk under them as it gets worse.

Thanks! I know it definitely didn’t look like scarlet mites yet anyway but I wasn’t sure if it was maybe the beginning of something. I think I’m just paranoid of something happening to them. I’m so attached
