Rescued chickens feet mangled, scaly and missing toes

[MiniChickenMommy]

Hello all,
I have 2 Pekin bantam roos and have recently resuces a pekin hen. Her feet were in a right state when I got her, so I bathed them, removed all the poo and dirt that had clumped around all her toes, clipped her nails on her 3 remaining toes as they were over 2 inch long and picked away all loose dead skin.
I am new to chicken keeping and although I have looked on Google, I cant figure out what is wrong with her feet, and there dont know how to look after it properly. I have so far used antiseptic cream on the open wounds and some de powder to keep them clean and dry but not sure what to do next.. Can anyone help??

Oh your poor hen! I’m so glad you are taking care of her poor feet! Do you think it could be severe scaly leg mite damage? I think that’s a common reason for the scales to be missing.

My Brahmas have scaly leg mites and I just treated them by dipping their feet in rubbing alcohol on day one, coating their feet with Vaseline on day 2, dipping in alcohol again on day 3, Vaselining again on day 4. If you think it might be SLM, you might wait for the open sores to scab over a little before you do an alcohol dip. Or I have read that you can do the Vaseline treatment everyday for months and you will eventually smother all the mites. Good luck with your new chicken

Ivermectin pour-on can be used to quickly get rid of leg mites. Dosage is 0.1 ml per each 2 pounds of weight applied to the skin on the back on the neck over the spine. Repeat in 14 days. I also would would soak her feet in warm Epsom salts, and gently scrub any scaly areas with a toothbrush. You can apply coconut oil or another oil to the legs and feet.

Thank you for your replies! I will try both the methods suggested and hopefully they will get better.
I am also keeping her in her own cage now so as not to affect my 2 roos. She did however sleep in the same hut as my 2 roos for 2 nights. I have cleaned out their hut, but will the mites have affected my roos after sleeping in the same hut for 2 nights?
