Leg mites?

[Candy S]

I just adopted two chickens. I don’t know much about them. The lady thought they are 2 or 3 yrs old. They came from a very small coop and they used cedar shavings for bedding. I’m very concerned about their legs. I have them in a separate coop from my other girls until I feel certain that they have no communicable disease. Anyone have any idea?
