If you go into the coop after the chickens have roosted, even the meanest rooster can be easily plucked off the perch, wrapped in a towel, and you can then do whatever you want with him.
I recommend the soaks, as that will cleanse and soften the scales, say about 30 minutes. I place a milk crate over the soaking basin and go do other things. After that, dry his legs, photograph them if you choose, then smear on the petroleum jelly. You'll need to repeat this at least once more to get all the mites.
