Can you post some photos of the feet?

General care for scaly leg mites would be to wash/soak the feet, gently scrub off any dirt debris, then apply an oil/ointment to the legs like coconut oil, castor oil, etc. Without seeing the legs it's hard to know, but with feathering on feet/legs SLM can be more difficult to treat - you may want to consider treating with Ivermectin Pour On. For standard large fowl, you can apply apply 5drops of Ivermectin Pour On to the back of the chicken's neck, repeat treatment in 14days. You do want to make sure the medication comes into contact with the skin. (even if you treat with Ivermectin, you will want to wash the feet and apply ointment oil to help promote healing and help with irritation).

Cleaning out your housing/bedding and treating your coop with a Permethrin based poultry spray or dust is always a good idea too.

I put a few arrows your photo - is the bottom of the feet crusty?

You may want to soak the feet in epsom salts to help relieve some of the inflammation. Gently scrub the feet to help start to loosen the crusty matter - it may take several days/weeks to work on that. Apply a triple antibiotic ointment to the feet. Keep him on clean dry bedding. If you have a vet that can take a look at him, that is always best.
