sore cracked feet

[Wyorp Rock]

I've got the mite stuff to put around and on him. We'll do that today.
Do you know what I could put on the cracks on his feet that is safe for chooks?

What mite stuff did you get?

Scaly Leg Mites live under the scales of the feet/toes, something like a dust or permethrin spray generally will not get rid of SLM. You need to smother them, a link to how to treat was posted previously, but repost/linked below.

Looks like he has a bad case Scaly Leg Mites which will cause swelling and scabs.

Check him for lice and mites on the body as well.


Here's how to treat the feet.

We already had some Pestene here so thought I'd try that. But yeah did read that link. Will try that next if he still seems bothered. I've been giving him the antibiotics in his water just in case it's Gout too.
