Scaly Mites?

[BethEA2799]

Would you say this is early signs of scaly mites. Her one foot has always been darker than the other. When I first got her I didn’t have the knowledge on problems that can occur within or outside chickens bodies until now, and if it is I’d like to treat it sooner rather than later. My mom said she thinks it’s just natural discoloration but just to be safe I want to see what everyone else thinks! Photo of just the foot was taken today, and the other was the first week I had them isolated in a cage.

It looks to be regular discoloration. I think scaly mites are things on the legs but I could be wrong. Maybe someone else will chime in.

The legs themselves look fine. She could be having the start of scaly leg mites or it could just be from age. It wouldn’t hurt to treat and see if it changes anything. https://the-chicken-chick.com/scaly-leg-mites-in-chickens/

Looks normal to me

The coloration just looks like normal pigmentation. The scales look a little dry, but not really like scaly leg mites. Some coconut oil rubbed on the dry area's will help, if you want.

Thank you for the help I’m hoping is normal !
