Is this scaly leg mites?

[florida_man]

Hey i have this 4.5 year old rooster and noticed raised scales for years. at first i didnt think it was mites bc the pictures ive seen looked very different. Is this scaly leg mites or something else.

already started vasaline treatment bc i have warm weather this week.

Are my old hens fine too? i feel like they r slightly raised compared to my .5 year old chickens

they all act normal.
hens range from 3-4 years.

thanks!

It could be the begining of it. Im not quite sure because I've never had it happen before.

The black one looks like the scales are raised and different color. The golden colored one looks normal but I would treat them all the same as preventative. It would NOT hurt to slather vaseline on their legs and feet even if they don't have SLM. Good luck!
