Cornflake has had scaly leg multitasking times in the past but this time her feet are mostly just dry and tend to crack a lot there seems to be no signs of scales lifting or falling. Is it scaly leg again or just dryness? Ps I know these aren’t the best quality images

I do think that there are some scaly leg mites. I would soak the legs in warm soapy water, and gently wash them with a toothbrush to loosen any scales or debris. Then you can rub petroleum jelly into the scales and skin to treat them twice a week. What type of bedding or material do your chickens walk on?
