What’s going on with my roosters feet?

[rumbleBee_STi]

I noticed that my roosters feet have started looking really rough, swollen even? The bump on his right foot is also worrisome. He is a marans, 3 years old (& huge!) & has never grown feathers on his legs/shanks/feet, ever. Are his feet abnormal looking? I know the red is hormones, it’s his scales & the bump I’m concerned about

It looks like Scaly leg mites are eating tissue right through the feet and toes. Apply Nu-Stock to the feet and legs once every 3rd or 4th day until healed.
Shake the tube well and wear disposable gloves applying it.

I've never dealt with scaly leg mites, fortunately, but that's definitely what's going on with your boy. I have read you can also spread coconut oil on his legs and feet to suffocate the mites, but you have to reapply it once or twice a day.

Petroleum jelly/vaseline works great as well. It is readily available and suffocates the critters handily. Twice a day for 5 to 7 days usually works.

Looks like a severe case, so what dawg53 suggested would work even better. It will help heal the feet as well.
