Hi! I made an account here a while ago, but this is one of my first posts. Well, I've had chickens for a long time, and I've had an infestation (if you will) with scaly leg mites on my ladies (the mites started a couple months ago). I've researched multiple treatments online, and multiple websites have suggested vaseline, ivermectin, and even gasoline as treatment options. I started the vaseline when the mites first appeared on my hens, and I started by applying it once every 3 days, but it does not seem like anything is working with that method. So, I was wondering if anyone else has any treatment methods for scaly leg mites that have worked for them in the past. Any help is greatly appreciated and I'm all ears for suggestions, thanks in advance for your help!!
