Ethel is a gray silkie. When we were trimming nails yesterday, we noticed this spot on her leg just above the spur. Any idea what it is? Is it scaly leg mite? We didn't notice anything on any others. They all have dust around their scales, but nothing like Miss Ethel.

Thanks for your help.

 
It turned out to be an epidermal growth. A friend who raises chickens looked at it, scraped at it and it came off. No bleeding. We've put some triple antibiotic ointment on it and she's doing real good.
