Scaly Leg? Pretty sure this is scaly leg.

The title says it all more or less. I think my 2 feather footed ladies have scaly leg. This is my Salmon Faverolle’s foot. My Light Brahma’s feet look almost exactly like this.

Looks like it. Soak their feet and legs in warm water so all the dirt loosens. Don’t scrub them, just soak. Then pat dry and apply Vaseline. I do it every day for about 5 days, then repeat a week to 10 days later. Some do Vaseline every other day three or four times, then repeat. If your girls don’t like to be handled you can wait until they roost and then go in with a flashlight and apply the Vaseline.

Do I need to clear out and deep clean the coop?

I didn’t when I had an issue with a hen. I did soak her legs a couple of times though because she was digging and her legs looked like mud sticks…. Her feet were better but remained a little scaly for a while but no mites were present

If you can, cleaning and bedding change is probably the best thing; I just got away with it and only on of 9 chickens had scaly legs to begin with.
