This has been going out since like a week ago but i dont know if its mites under his scales or if its just dry scales that i can cure with Vaseline. Please help me if it is mites under his scales give me an advice on how to completely get rid of them. Thanks

I have already applied Vaseline and cold VetRx

It looks like the start of leg mites. I believe 1 of our hens looked like this while another rooster and hen had it worse. If you treated right away, it may clear up quickly. We treated our hen for about 2 weeks and her legs looked very healthy after. The other 2 took much longer.

And may I ask, what did you treated them with? And should i clean all the chicken coop?

I cleaned the coop out, and sprinkled DE ( diamateous earth) in the bedding. I coated the legs with bag balm. vaseline i would think would work. The idea is to smother the bug. I scrubbed the more severe birds with a toothbrush to loosen dying scales. The hen that looked like yours, I didnt really need too. I would use the treatment you started 2 times a day . I also tried using a product called Scaley Leg Protector, I didnt find it effective in curing the visual symptom, but It was easy to apply (spray bottle) and i think it could prevent any spread, if you have other birds.
