Thanks! I got that diagnosis on another thread earlier tonight - I had no idea, felt very dumb and very guilty for missing it, and being lax for checking my birds (who I need to start doing more careful health checks on). I read a LOT of different cures/advice, etc., and have been discussing with Beekissed on the Breeding for Production thread tonight. I pulled him off the roost tonight for the first foot soak (he was sweet), and coated legs with castor oil (following Beekissed's recommendation from her experience). I'm going to also check and treat everyone else while I'm at it, starting with the four other birds with feathered legs... I'm going to do it every night for about a week and see how it's going - I didn't have things set up well tonight (I'm doing this alone) so the oil application wasn't as thorough as it should have/could have been. I'll be better prepared tomorrow.

Yup, that's immediately what I thought, too! My Australorp gets them REALLY easy, I tried the whole Vaseline thing, and castor oil, and soap and water, and a combination, the only thing that eventually worked was two doses of Ivermectin a few weeks apart. She is finally regrowing scales back. I was dosing the whole flock for lice and mites, anyway, so it worked out.
He wants another 4 weeks of therapy and then to do another surgery to shorten my ulna because he is convinced it isn't RSD and just a stiff joint and that this is normal healing after surgery
Hurts like heck and I'm just frustrated
But Chrissy give me hope
