I am new to chickens and have never had any insect or fungal issues. While at a sale today I was traded a gorgeous buff laced polish hen (I’m fifteen). I noticed her legs were very odd and she had lost a few toes. I consulted a family friend who told me she had Scaley leg mites. We have begun immediate treatment with ivermectin and motor oil.
My question is how long I should quarantine the chickens I had in the same relative area (they were in individual wire cages) and if there are any cheap sure fire ways to kill this issue. I feel horrible for her...
P.S. can I or any of my other livestock (horse, sheep, dogs) catch this?
