What's wrong with my Roo's legs

[Juther]

I just bought a Roo and his legs look like this. I looked up pics of scaly leg mites and it doesn't look like that to me. It looks like he has just rubbed the scales off or perhaps psoriasis?

Looks like his legs are reddened is all. Does he seem to be in pain?

Can't really tell in the pictures. The redness is probably hormonal. Do you know how old he is or what conditions he was kept in? I don't see spurs so pretty young? If he was in dirty conditions the skin may be irritated due to droppings and ammonia. I think I would use castor oil, coconut oil, bag balm, etc applied just to sooth for a while to see if that helps, with time and being in better conditions. If he was in crowded conditions he may not have been roosting and instead laying on the ground which would not have helped.

I was going to use coconut oil, so I'm glad to hear this. He was completely free range and they had a time catching him. He does have spurs they are about 3/4" long. They said 7-8 months old.

He seems fine pain wise so I'll just use coconut oil, thanks!

Thanks so much for the fast response! I'm so thankful for this group!
