I have been away on holidays for the past two weeks and came back to find that our chicken has scaly leg mites. I have been reading up on it and found a couple of solutions... including the gasoline dip... I am wondering how safe this is, as I want to get rid of these mites as fast as I can, and it only takes 3 days. I am hoping to get new chcikens soon so I want the mites gone before they are here. Our flock was devastated by a fox attack leaving one of our chickens, who now has scaly leg mites. Would this treatment work, or would the gasoline be toxic for the poor hen, and if it was safe, would the be any substitute for A&D ointment, because I can't seem to find any nearby.
