Scaly leg mites?!

[sarah4hchickens]

Ok so I have 50 chickens total. 25 are full grown, mostly hens but a few Roos. They are pretty old and they have scaly leg mites, I’m positive, and I am currently treating them with Vaseline mixed with Sevin. But I also have 25 pullets, and they are housed completely separately and never interact, but I’m worried they have the same thing. I may be worried because I’ve been through this before. Attached is a pic of my 16 week old silver laced wyandotte pullets legs. Keep in mind, they are a bit muddy. Can someone please help and tell me if she has it and how the heck to treat all 50 chickens!

Also, my other chickens that are in the same pen don’t look like that, only a few are similar. Could it just be the black lacing in the legs?

You could try treat with ivermectin, that might be easier than applying Vaseline to their legs.
