Is this ingrown feathers or scaly leg mite?

Hello, I have 4 chickens in my flock. One of my chickens is a black Copper Marans with feathers of her legs. A week ago I noticed her legs had a bit of what looked like maybe ingrown feathers, but now I’m paranoid it might be the start of mites. Can anyone tell me if these pictures look like legs mites? I’m paranoid because there are 3 protrusions on one leg and one on the other leg. Thanks for your responses.

:welcome To me it looks like an ingrown feather situation rather than scaly leg mites, but I would coat the areas with Vaseline to soften and help clear them up.
