I'm sorry but I am not familiar with scale. What is it?

Chicken Scaly Legs is a disease caused by a parasitic mite (known as cnemidocoptes mutans) that burrows under the scales of the legs or feet, where it causes great irritation.

This results in a multiplication of the tissue cells and the secretion of the serum. The scales are raised, and the legs become thickened and have a rough lumpy appearance.

Are you from australia? You might want to request Australian help in your subject. I am not really familiar with the jetting form of ivermectin and its dosage, more the "pour-on" and injectable (oral) that is available here in the states. I know that ivermectin generally have a wide safety margin - but I'd hate to guess really.
