We live in the desert and my poor chicken has these awful cracked feet. Our environment is a mix of dirt/sand with various desert weeds and they have regular outside grazing time whenever my husband or I is home. I’ve looked through pictures of scaly leg mites and bumbles and neither seem to be quite right as it’s on both feet and as you can see, the scales on top of her feet are not lifted.
She has received epsom salt baths, vetRX, feet oilings, and now they’ve been wrapped and she’s getting special quality time inside.
Can anyone shed some more insight on what the issue could be? Do I need to scrape off the scabs?
Our other girls (3 more pullets and 7 hens) have also been treated for scaly leg mites just in case but their feet (aside from being dirty) are normal looking.
