While handling one of my young chicks today I noticed there were lumpy, scaly looking bumps along the bottoms of her toes. At first I just thought it was dried poop, but after looking further I don't think that anymore. Is this possibly scaly leg mite? She is young and still kept in a box with her sisters
We have older chickens, but we keep them separate to prevent injuries to the younger ones. We take them outside when it's warm to let them get some fresh air and to forage. None of the other chicks seem to have this problem. she doesn't seem to have trouble walking.
