I don't think she has SLM, they're just old scales.
For the mites use permethrin poultry dust and dust her and the rest of the flock.
 
The losened scales are from scaly leg mites, which can’t be seen without a microscope. Mites or lice on the body, will require a permethrin dust or spray to kill them. Lice are treated every 10 days at least twice to get the newly hatched eggs, and mites are treated every 7 days 2-3 times. Don’t forget to treat the coop and replace the bedding. Leg mites need to be smothered with vaseline, Nustock horse cream, or other oil rubbed into the scales. Here is a good article that shows what to look for:
