Can turkeys get scaly leg mites?

[Birdperson1000]

Hi I just learned about scaly leg mites because my turkey had a small injury and one of his leg scales came off and was bright pink underneath I washed it off and put Neosporin on it just in case.
But when I was looking at his legs they have black under some of his scales and I was wondering if he could have scaly leg mites?

In answer to the title of your thread, yes turkeys can and do get scaly leg mites.

In my opinion, your turkey does not have scaly leg mites but, if you are concerned the treatment with any of the recommended treatments for scaly leg mites such as Vaseline coating them and repeating in 5 days will not harm him.
