Hi Caleb. I agree that, at this point it doesn't look like mites. But sooner or later, you will get them. It's just part of having chickens. I had a rescue red sex link, she has always been my favorite...and she had them bad! Get some NuStock and have it on hand. I don't work for them or anything, but it's just the best all around salve to have in your medicine bag! It is made as a deep wound salve. I've used it on all my farm animals, and me! It is antibacterial and anti fungal. It is nothing more than sulfur, pine tar and mineral oil. But it's made to stay where you rub it. If you see mites, rub it all the way up the leg to the feathers. It not only suffocates the mites, like Vaseline, but keeps anything from getting started under raised scales. The Vaseline won't do that. It wonderful stuff that I'm never without.
