Leg dislocation/mineral deficiency from scaly leg mites?

[Kiki]

I will most certainly have this one tested. I’ve been checking in with my acquaintances who are vets - It will be worth it to test if it costs $100 or ao.
I have been trying to start a breeding programs for American Bresse and and Black Copper Marans. I’ve got some great genetics in my flock (unless the BCM have nutritional absorption issues)
I won’t be selling eggs or birds, or breeding birds until I find out.

Question: would apply the antibiotic to his joint with some kind of carrier or DSM type thing help ??

FYI the state labs are almost always cheaper than going through a vet.
Which state are you in?

It is an issue with this line not being able to absorb vit well.

Contacted the breeder. The birds teated negative for MS and MG. He mentioned a few of his cockerels had leg issues and were culled. I won’t be breeding the Marans. I don’t want to mess with the absorption issues.
