I'm a little nervous of judgement so I'll explain that we just had a human baby 2 months ago and he has been real colicky. Every day is just survival mode. So our poor chickens have not gotten their normal level or attention or care. I hate this went unnoticed and has gotten to the level it has.
We have three chickens and just one is having the following issues. She has red and swollen feet and she also has severe feather loss. I've attached pictures.
Googling led me to scaly leg mites, but it seemed like from what I read that only affects feet and legs? Is that right or is this just an overall mite problem? Any other thoughts on what it could be?
Also, any suggestions on treatment?
Thanks!
