Callous on the pad, And my chickens legs aren't yellow?

[Chick_a_dee]

My chickens have what appear to be callouses on their feet, no doubt from the hard as rock ground in their run these past few weeks. I thought bumblefoot but it appears to be just like a callous.

How should I treat this? Epsom salt?

Also, my hens legs I am sure are supposed to be yellow lol and they're not. I can't see any fungal issues, no scaly leg mites, but the "scales" near the bottom look to be lifted a bit. I have vaseline, should I vaseline their legs incase they do have mites?

I'm just wondering, my chickens appear to have more of what I would consider a callous rather than a sore or infection.

Anyone else?

Do you have a picture? It might help.

Not all chicken breeds have yellow feet and legs. What breed(s) do you have?

I'll have to post one tomorrow. The callouses are dry and come off if you tug at them a bit, just like a human callous would come off. They are also not inflamed like bumblefoot would be and no one seems to be sore.
