is this he start of scaly leg mites? (Don’t mind the poop on her toe lol she stepped in it as I was trying to grab her)
 
The scales are very dry. What type of food/treats do you feed?

It wouldn't hurt to wash up the legs and apply some Nu Stock to the legs a couple of times a week. But it looks like they are more dry than anything to me.

Ok phew! I was hoping it wasn’t mites. My chicks are on starter feed still, occasionally they get some fruit and mealy worms for treats. They are about 7 weeks old. Is there anything else I should do to help with the dryness? I’m in Southern California so it’s very dry this time of year
 
Since you live a dry climate, you can always rub the Nu Stock into their legs or even use some coconut oil or castor oil occasionally. Any of those should help with dry scales and feet. :)
Thanks so much! I have some coconut oil on hand so I will slather some of that on in the morning :)
