Curing scaly leg mites

A little update.
Here are the legs of my silkie, after multiple treatments. Most of the others are healing up well too.

Thanks for all the help, y'all! @6BeachChicks @Eggcessive @Wyorp Rock @MysteryChicken @Aunt Angus
 
How often are you treating the leg mites and with what exactly? It is going to take more time, but I would smother the scales with vaseline 1-2 times a week. It can take months for the new scales to grow in. You also might want to treat the coop with permethrin spray after removing all of the bedding, and put fresh bedding in the coop.

That's what I've been doing, once or twice a week with each chicken.

I didn't get the permethrin spray yet, but hopefully I get it before I clean the coop for winter.
