Chicken feet look bad

I'm not sure vaseline or another oil is going to cut it at this point. The intent with those is to suffocate the mites, but those are some really badly infested feet, I think it would be too hard to get the vaseline up close to the mites. They're all under there, after all. Maybe once the old, crusty scales come off.
My suggestion would be Epsom salt soaks, then, after a soak, apply a mite treatment, then put Vaseline or similar over that. Cover all your bases.
 
A few dip their chickens’ legs in gasoline for a few seconds then applying vaseline why legs are dried. Repeat vaseline 1-2 times a week, but not gasoline. That should immediately kill the mites. It will take weeks to see new scales growing in. Many of us prefer a less severe treatment, but this works immediately. Here is a link that recommends that and other treatments, ivermectin pour on, and oils. Mineral oil, also know as liquid parafin is good to use.
