I'm pretty sure our silkie roo has a nasty case of leg mites. We took him out this evening to bathe him and saw these nasty looking feet.
Here's our dilemma. He's my 11 year old daughter roo and he's a 4h chicken she is showing on Monday at our county Fair for her 4h project. She's showing him and another silkie hen.
Here's what we did.
1) Bathed him as usual but made sure to soak his feet really well.
2) scrubbed his feet really well with Dawn and chicken scrub with a toothbrush.
3) after blow-drying him we dipped both feet in gasoline and after that dried slathered them in vasoline.
My questions are these....does it look like scaly leg mites?
If so is this a good treatment?
What are the odds his feet will look better by Sunday (when we take them to the fair grounds.?)
Thanks in advance! I appreciate you all!
