red scales on feet?

[purr]

my rooster has red scales on his legs and feet is this normal?

Can you post some pics? A mature roo's legs do turn red which is a sign of maturity.

Like to see a pic, but my BR roosters have quite reddish legs on the side. RIRs can, too.

I can't take a pic because my camera batteries are dead and I can't find the charger but he's a white rock and otherwise super handsome and healthy. And he's 22wks old.

mine has red scales--it's from their spurs rubbing their scales. You might need to trim them!

 

[purr]

no his spurs are nothing more than nubs right now and the red runs the whole leg

It's completely normal, unless its not just a reddish wash down the sides, i.e., they seem inflamed/swollen.

I agree with Cyn...at this age is when you really start to notice the legs getting red because they are coming into full maturity. If the scales aren't lifted, I wouldn't worry. Sounds normal to me.

thank you that describes it perfectly a red wash down the side
