My 3 year old Plymouth Rock has been spending lots of time laying down this last week, as if her legs are bothering her. She is still eating, drinking, and poop looks normal. She wasn't terribly active to begin with, but her sassiness is gone, too. I just read scaly mites can sometimes cause a chicken to go lame? I have no experience with scaly mites. Attached are 3 photos of her feet and legs, which do have raised scales. Additionally, the toe on her foot closest to the camera appears inflamed. The bottom of her feet look normal.
The other 3.5 year old hens have some similar raised scales, but the the 2 year hens feet look a bit better.
Do you think scaly leg mites?
Thank you so much for your input!
