Scaly leg mites?

[Cassondra53]

Hello friends! I’m worried about my darling chicken - does this look like scaly leg mites to anyone?
Thank you!!!!

How old is the bird? Looks more like ageing than scaly leg mites to me.

That’s good to know. I rescued this hen once she was already an adult so I don’t know how old she is. She still lays eggs but maybe once or twice a week at this point. She was standing on one leg off and on today, but it is cold outside so maybe thats why. I have 5 chickens total and none of the other birds have funky toes. Im curious - how can you tell between feet with mites and old chicken feet?

SLM will create crusty stuff under and coming out from under the scales.
