Scaly leg mites

[The_Flock]

Here are 2 girl's feet. The SLM damage is a bit hard to see now because of the vaseline. The grey girl has by far the worst feet as far as SLM go.
I can't win for losing right now because the golden lace wyandotte in the pics, I had to bring in because of bumblefoot.

That's doesn't look too bad, have seen much worse.
Only time will tell if new scales will be generated.

Ya I think I got it in good time. The grey girl, she's a copper maran named Georgie, has her scales lifting and a bit deformed under all the feathers on her legs. But they seem much better now so the vaseline is working.
I also got all of, if not then most of the corn out of the bumble on my girl Blanche's foot. She's got another small spot on the other foot but by the time I got the first and worst foot done she was hot as anything because we were inside. I brought her back to the coop and I'll treat it soon.

Here is Blanche with her fixed foot. She's much happier now.

Oh...pretty sure the lice are gone too. When I brought Blanche in to do her foot I was waiting to see if I'd get the lice on my arms and pants from it being so warm. This is what happened with my other birds that came in the house for a short period of time. Nothing came crawling off so that's good. I took a quick look in the warmer area under the wing and near the hock and saw nothing. So the low dose seems to have worked.

Good.
Gotta say tho that OSB might be part of the reason she got bumbled, lots of sharp splinter risk there.

OSB? Is that the board she's standing on?

Yes

 

[The_Flock]

Yes

I just put that board on there yesterday. I'll deburr the rough edge with the power sander for right now. I know the bits of wood lift up on this so I'll look for a better piece to put up there. The girls seem to love going onto this box so it'll have to be fixed. Thank you.

The flock how are your girls doing is the Vaseline alone working on the mites?
It’s my first case of scaly leg and I have to say it really really turns my stomach and not much does ugh. My little bantam girl and rooster had it bad. The bantams never let me pick them up so I guess I just neglected them.. I feel really bad. I did the soapy water, scrubbed with a tooth brush, put olive oil on one coconut on the other and then vaseline. Also a little orange essential oil.
There’s so many different remedies on here.
I also grabbed a few other hens and put just Vaseline even tho they looked fine- I really hope it helps.
I was thinking maybe I’ll do the castor oil with tea tree paint brush method.
