Swollen feet?

[silverlaced44]

Hey guys!
You've really helped me with my flock problems in the past, so I was hoping you could maybe help me with this. The afternoon I was doing some work with my little bantam flock when I noticed my little cochin roosters feet, around where the feathers are, have become swollen and red. He is eating, drinking, and hasn't lost weight, so I'm hoping this isn't too serious...Any help is appreciated, here is a photo. Thanks in advance!!

Could be chicken mites

I think that there is some kind of chicken mites that they get on there legs.

This is very helpful! Thank you!

you are welcome! There is a show on youtube called Becky's Homestead, she tells you how to treat chicken mites

 

[sassysarah]

You use the same stuff she uses just on her feet. There is a video on her doing it on her chickens legs, I could not find it though.

Hope this helps.

Thank you! I started a treatment for him yesterday, his feet aren't as red as they were.

Glad to hear that! Hope everything works out! Good luck!
