scaly leg mites

I went to pick up a couple of roosters yesterday, and the owner failed to inform me that they had scaly leg mites until I was there. So now I have two roo's in quarantine. They're not too badly affected, one hardly visible and the others with some raised scales. I've treated them with...

I reached out a while back & you all we’re so helpful w my Harley, Snow, Gigi & Rudy!!I’ve since had to put down Rudy & Gigi. Harley had Ascites & fell asleep in my arms... I still have my OG, Snow... happy, healthy, bossy! I’ve since adopted a few others... Stripes, Goldie & Spazzy... All...

I'm treating some bantams for scaly leg mites, and have decided to go with the petroleum jelly method. They've been isolated getting the petroleum jelly for about a week and I'm getting kind of impatient. I've heard that diatomaceous earth (DE) can be helpful for external parasites, but I've...

Hello All, Wondering if you think this treatment would work for scaly leg mites. I have a flock of about 65. I have a bottle of Permectrin II (pyrethrin) that is labeled for chicken mites(general statement on label). It is a contact killer, and is labeled for used on poultry. However, I am...

Hi everyone, I was taking care of my girls scaly legs last night (the constant battle) and noticed that the sole of my welsummers foot is very cracked. Is this something that can be caused by scaly leg mites or maybe the beginnings of bumblefoot? She doesn’t appear to be in pain or discomfort...

Hi, Firstly sorry if this ends up being long winded.... Saturday before last we notice one of our bantams is limping. Still eating, drinking etc. Saw a vet Monday who said he thought it was a sprained leg and to strictly rest her for 10 days along with Metcam and Baytril. I queried her raised...

Today I discovered one of my Black Sex-Link hens has scaly leg mites. It's only her, and no one else seems to have them, but I'll be treating them all just in case. It's fairly recent, as her legs don't look that bad at all compared to some I've seen on here, but I wanna get this treated ASAP! I...

Can this be related, or is it likely coincidental? Yesterday, I treated my four hens with Wazine 17 (1 oz in one gallon of water for one day). Today, the oldest one, an almost 6 year old Buff Brahma, is stumbling a bit and seeming to have poor balance. She also appears to be limping a little...

Hi all, Whilst dusting my chickens this morning for lice and mites (we have an infestation), I noticed these scaly, lumpy legs and feet. They look so uncomfortable! What does it look like to you? Scaly leg mites?

Hello, I just noticed on one of my girls, that some of the scales are slightly lifted. I'm thinking she is in an early stage of scaly leg mites. Can anyone confirm this with the pics attached? I will need to start treating her tomorrow. I will clean the coop, sprinkle DE, wash her legs and put...

Hi! I made an account here a while ago, but this is one of my first posts. Well, I've had chickens for a long time, and I've had an infestation (if you will) with scaly leg mites on my ladies (the mites started a couple months ago). I've researched multiple treatments online, and multiple...

Please look at Rhonda's foot picture in my album below. It seems like it just gets more irritated and possibly infected when I try to treat her for it. It's more swollen today and bleeding. She is now picking/pecking at it and it is looking worse. I was thinking to give her another warm foot...

Before washing. Scaly leg mites?

I have a few questions to ask regarding my girls but think it would be better to get photos of other issues to help with my questions BUT this one is hopefully straight forward! ! So i was recently given to Sussex hens about 12-14mts Old after putting a call out on Facebook page asking if...

I currently keep 15 coturnix quail in a 4x8 aviary, which sits on the ground (but the entire bottom is also covered in wire mesh to keep predators out, with a layer of bedding on top). I've been using the deep litter method for the past 8 months and have overall been very happy with it, but I...

So I have approx 90 chickens. Half the flock (mostly the Ameraucanas and mix breeds) are showing signs of scaly leg mites. I am obviously going to treat my whole flock, but what is the best way on such a large scale? Petroleum Jelly would take way to long to thoroughly apply. I was thinking of...

I have a Brahma that I suspect has scaly leg. I have treated other hens with it with vaseline and all that. But I can't really put vaseline or oils on her legs for obvious reasons. Is there a effective way to treat it or will I have to use ivermectin?

I walked out in my coop this morning, and noticed that my Barred Rock’s feet looked a little odd. After some google searches, I’m thinking it’s scaly leg mites. Thoughts? Also, if it is mites, how would I best treat this? I suppose a bath and Vaseline maybe. I would prefer not to use Ivomec or...

I've been told one of my girls looks like she has scaly leg! Does she really? I tried looking at pictures online and hers look nothing like that. I looked at her legs for a minute to see if I could see anything moving. :( im really worried :oops:
