View attachment 1109742 View attachment 1109742 We got this cream leg bar hen a couple weeks ago and we found some problems. We found scaley leg mites, that blumers foot thing, her toes look really painful, and her legs are really swollen. Can someone help me, I need to know what I can do to fix these problems. And if you see anything else wrong please tell me.
P.s this is my first time uploading a picture, I was trying to figure it out for like ten mintues.
 
Sprinkle DE through the bedding in the coop, and even on the chickens. But wear a mask when you do so, because the DE is really bad for your lungs. Put vasaline on their legs, it smothers the mites and kills them. Hopefully this works! And maybe an epsom salt soak for her legs?
