Guess that breed!

Every chicken I get from that place looks like it needs to be treated for scaley feet mites. Makes me wonder where they get them.

Now, I wouldn't call them purebred; I always refer to mine as a silkie mix as I can see he isn't pure for fibro, a requirement of the breed.

Please do segregate him whilst you treat for scaly leg mites. You can smother them with vaseline, I believe, but I'm sure you'll find more suggestions in the diseases forum.

Most definently. I've dealt with the scaly leg mites before.

My hens are waaaaay bigger then him and they will be mean so I will probably keep him segregated and then after I deal with his scaly leg mites slowly introduce.
