Scaly Leg Mites?

[Chiknsrcool]

So minky was upside down against the feeder he was fine but I was examining the pictures I took of him and I was wondering what those scabs on his feet are? I have heard of scaly leg mites but I haven’t done much research and I know it would be more difficult to cure him since he has feathered feet.

Not sure why he was upside down, that's usually not a good thing when it comes to chickens.
If that happens again, consider changing that so he doesn't end up upside down.

As for the feet, to me, it looks like Pododermatitis (contact dermatitis/bumblefoot). How dry is your run and does he roost or sleep on the floor?
You can try treating the feet by soaking the feet every few days to help them heal. Dry well and keep him on clean dry bedding. Monitor the feet to make sure the lesions are not getting worse of becoming infected.

I don't know anything about scaly leg mites or bumblefoot, but that is a FANTASTIC name for a chicken!

The run is pretty dry but he also just got finished being quarantined because he got his wing ripped up by a hawk and he kept spilling his food all over the floor so I think it might be from walking over hard pellets. He has recently taken to sleeping in a nest box but before then he slept on a low roost but that was almost three months ago because he’s had quite a difficult time what with getting attacked and getting a cold and just overall getting into trouble so he’s had to be in quarantine a lot lately

Usually the breaking down of the skin like that is from moisture. Could have been wet bedding from spilled water and even burns from poop which can be very irritating to the feet.
If having to separate out a bird to a cage, puppy pads work pretty well to line the floor. Even though absorbent, they have to be changed regularly.

Once you get the feet healed up, he may go back to roosting. I imagine they are painful.
