Does my quail have scaly leg mites?

I noticed my coturnix quail’s feet look strange. Was wondering if it’s scaly leg mites. I’m pretty sure I know the answer, but want to confirm.

How old is your quail?

He’s about 2 years old.

Something I forgot to add is that he has lived near chickens who had scaly leg mites in the past.

Vaseline is one method where you coat the whole foot and leg. Needs to be reapplied. There are several different suggestions, such as vasoline and combining it with other topicals (forgot the name beta…?). Ivermectin is sometimes used as well.

I was planning to use mineral oil along with something else (probably Vaseline).
