Hey guys. I just realized one of my pullets have scaly legs. Is this a sign of mites?
Would you say it’s true? If so, how can I get rid of it? Pics posted of the suspected legs vs another pullet whose legs seem normal.
I appreciate your input!!!

This could be mites. You can treat it by applying Vaseline to the chickens legs. They do spread pretty quickly. Be sure to sanitize your coop especially the roost.
