I went out to the nest box today and my RIR was sitting on the nest. When I lifted her up to look for eggs I noticed her legs looked funny and immediately thought she had leg mites. None of her coop mates have any symptoms at all and legs look normal. I decided to treat with gasoline and A&D for everyone. When I brought her to the bowl to dip her legs I saw the bumblefoot lesions on the bottom of both feet
Can the look of the leg be a direct result of the bumblefoot and maybe we don't have leg mites after all?
I treated with the gasoline anyways but wish I hadn't because she wasn't limping or showing any discomfort before, which is why I hadn't noticed and now her feet are bright pink and she is holding the one up like it hurts
Maybe the scales are actually separated from swelling and not mites?
