Okay, so this is my first group of birds with feathery feet, and I am just very confused... I have two silver laced cochins and five buff brahma bantums... These guys are the only ones in the whole flock that have slightly raised scales. I cleaned and treated the coops and pen with ivitemicin and then started applying castor oil to thier feet and legs. Its been about three months and there is no change to their feet. Not a single chicken without feathered feet has shown any signs of mites... Should I continue to treat them or is this just what their legs look like? I'll post a picture soon, some of the girls are molting and they don't like me bugging anyone out there right now.
