I have a FBCM. He's the only feather legged bird we have and the only one with this issue. I've been treating by soaking in soapy water with neem oil for 20 min and then rubbing oil and petroleum jelly over legs. It's not improving...but not getting worse either.
I read that some Marans have lifted scales as a result of the feathering. ...and the pink? Not sure. ..read some birds have pink legs. But this is dark pink. He's always been a feather picker so I don't know if the 'irritation' is a result of his habit or if his habit began because of irritation. Outside of legs is concerning...but that's where the feathers are. Inside of legs is clean. Thoughts?
