I don't get it I clean my coop everyday and bath my chickens yet still one has bumblefoot and another has just got scaly leg mites I'm at a lose as to what I'm doing wrong :(
 
You're probably not doing anything wrong - other than the possibility of being too fastidious.

Bacteria is everywhere and not always a bad thing.

The bumblefoot is normally from a injury of the foot that lets bacteria get in.

Scaly leg mites aren't that uncommon.
 
Yeah it's mainly the silkies all that fluff seems to gather the dirt :) and she's white so it stains easy but I have slowed down on the bathing now seems I don't show them so nobody to judge their stained heads lol
 
Too much sun will turn white feathers yellow. (brassiness)

ETA
Too much corn or dark green vegetation will do it too.
Greens and sun are healthy things but if you aren't showing, it doesn't matter.
