Hello everyone! Today I was trying to befriend my older hen Noodle with my two newer pullets, and while watching them I noticed that Noodles legs didn't look quite right. It seems like on her right leg the scales in front are a bit more raised, and one of the toes has become yellow? Could someone please confirm if there's something wrong, and if so suggest what the issue could be? Noodles left leg seems pretty normal. I attached some pictures below

I don't see anything alarming.

She has a small injury to the right leg and lost a scale, that will probably heal over on it's own.

Hard to tell if it's just age and wear/tear on the scales or the beginning of SLM. If you wish, you can rub some vaseline, castor oil or NuStock cream up under the scales of both legs once a week to help sooth and heal them. This would smother any mites if there are any.
