What's wrong with his legs?

Feathered legs mask the problem until it gets really bad. You may never see any evidence on the other birds and he may be the only one, but it`s doubtfull. Leg mites hide in the cracks of wooden roosts during the day and do their dirty work at night. You can use all the recommended products, but remember, the idea is to drown them in oil, and any kind of oil will do the deed. Oil the roosts for the same reason........Pop

What about DE? I noticed a few of my young birds nibbling at their legs so I was planning on putting DE all over their coop, roost and where they dust bathe. Will this fix it or do I still have to oil their legs? I have 37 of them and the ones I noticed nibbling at their legs are especially flighty.....
