[Robind15]

What is going on with my chickens feet? How do I help or cure her feet?

could be early signs of scaly leg mites.

soak in Epsom salts, then dry and grease them up every few days for a couple of weeks. Also ivermectin will kill mites.

Would ivermectin ointment work better in this case or oral liquid?

Are your other chickens pecking at the feathers on the feet

Get the spot on or pour on. You put drops on the back of their neck as it works systemically not topically, I.e. inside them not skin wise although it is absorbed through their skin.

It seems to only be on my 5 original chickens. I rubbed bag bomb on their feet at night only once. The redness has gone away. Scales are still a little scaly not smooth. I spray my coop twice a week with the Permethrin spray for mites lice bugs exc. I use Poultry Protecter to spray them at night for mites and lice. Would diluted oil and water being spray on them work? Or this blue bottle of stuff ?
