He is my oldest rooster and is maybe 3 years old. He eats and sleeps the same place as the rest of the healthy flock members. None of my other chickens have leg problems like this.
Anyone have a guess what is happening? He is walking strangely like limping, but still manages to get around. It is on both legs. Pics are attached. So far i have been afraid to do any treatment because i dont want to worse it and make him unable to walk. I have looked closely and cant see any parasites.
Edit: i think i am going to treat for scaly leg mites in the morning by applying oil to the legs and giving an antiparasite medication. I hope it doesnt hurt him.
