Hey all,
My roo Henry has been limping around for the last couple weeks. It started I thought when he jumped off the perch to tell the hens it was bedtime. At least this is when I first started noticing his limp. I took a few pictures and not sure if anybody could go off whether this is bumblefoot or scaly leg mites. I've been researching all night and have had no positive convincing post telling me it could be either. I was also thinking since he is a french maran, possibly the feathers coming in on his feet can be causing the discomfort. His comb is a bit discolored as well which told me possibly mites, but the other hens pick at eachother at night on the roost. Any advice would be much appreciated
