I'm hoping your found and treat it in time. I had a rooster that had those scabs on the top of his legs real bad. I didn't realize it for a long time all I noticed was a little redness. The scabs were further up. Anyway, I was rather confused. I tried to do the bumblefoot treatment on those scabs. There were the plugs in there but the infection went into the tendons and bone. It kept recurring and he slowly went lame. Evenutally, I had to put him down. I battled and battled that. Never ran across anyone here who had that. Anyway, I didn't know what scaley leg was until a couple years ago. I think you said something about the way he lifted his legs? Mine did that too. Kind of 'bicycled.' I thought maybe it was his spurs getting in the way. I'd cut them and he still did it. Didn't know what to think. Tard? Anyway, he did live until eight years but I wish I'd cared for him better. I just didn't know.
