Scaly leg mites?

[Eggenator]

Hello everyone,
My 8 year old hen has pretty raised scales on her feet and legs. I'm suspecting it is scaly leg mites, but wanted others opinions if you agree with this assumption. Also, I have a new flock of 11 week old chicks near her, they are separated by chicken wire however so they're not making direct contact. Should I be concerned of these mites spreading to the other flock? Please refer to the pictures! Thanks in advance.

Looks like she may have the beginnings of SLM. She's an old Gal too, so the scales are a bit beat up and worn.
I'd work some vaseline or Nu Stock cream up and under the scales of the legs/feet once a week.

SLM spend most of their life under the scales of the feet/legs. They could migrate, but it's not uncommon to see only one bird affected out of a whole flock, so I wouldn't be that concerned about the chicks contracting them at this point. Just do your routine checks and I think you'll be fine.

Sounds great, thank you!!
