We have a rooster with one of the free ranging flocks at my workplace that we noticed had a sore foot last week. This week he’s looking worse, and has been peg legging after his ladies on curled toes on his right foot. When I grabbed him to take a look, I couldn’t find any crazy swelling or sign of a break, although his leg scales on just the injured leg are looking raised and out of sorts. Could scaly leg mites be causing this? Or just swelling from an injury? None of his ladies are showing any symptoms of issues. Thank you!

How much and how often?
I usually dose 400mg 2 times a day. But they can do so as often as they wish, there's no risk overdosing, since the Vitamin is water soluble.

Since this is one foot that's effected, treatment usually doesn't take too long.
