Scaly leg mite or paranoia?

[Aerliss]

This is two different birds, but they all have what look to me like slightly raised scales on the bend. What do you folks think?

kinda hard to tell with all the dirt. those are some pretty raised scales.

It would help if her feet and legs were washed off, then take a couple of pics. Thanks.

Yeah, they enjoy kicking around the compost heap. Okay, I'll go grab one of them.

Dirt is pretty ingrained (I have a similar problem on my hands >_<' ), and the lighting isn't great. Sorry, sun's gone in and my phone isn't very good with indoor lighting. They do look rather raised to me, but difficult to compare to online photos of normal feet.

She did not appreciate being woken up and given a pedicure...

Not sure but if it is it is not bad.
If will not hurt to treat for them just in case with something like this:

Much better, and thanks for taking the time to post pics. Her feet look good to me.
BTW: You're not being paranoid. You're being an excellent observant chicken keeper.

Does the coconut oil treatment actually work?

Any type of oil will work....to smother them.
And yes it has worked.

Cool. Suppose I could hit them up with the coconut oil for a couple of days, as suggested by @KikisGirls just in case. I've got plenty of it... it's just that it sounds like it wouldn't work, at least not once they've kicked around a bunch of dirt looking for grubs.

Daww, thanks.
