Do Your Chickens Have Scaly Leg Mite?
Scaly legs on chickens are caused by a parasitic mite (Knemidocoptes mutans) that burrow under the scales on the chicken's legs. The damaged tissue weeps, which is what these mites feed on.

Signs and Symptoms.

  • Raised scales on the legs.
  • Crusty legs.
  • Lameness (severe cases).
  • Can also be found on the comb and wattles.
In the early stages of the infection, the chicken will have mild irritation. It takes several months of infection before the scales on the legs start to lift.

Repeat application is recommended. You should treat all of your birds even if only one bird has scaly legs, as scaly leg mite is very contagious and it is highly likely that all of your birds will have the mite.
Scaly foot is a bird ailment that is common among caged birds and also affects many other bird species. It is caused by mites in the genus Knemidocoptes which burrow into the bird's flesh. The tunnels made by the mites within the skin cause dermatitis and scaly lesions. Scaly face is caused by the same mite responsible for scaly foot and other related mites cause depluming. The condition is transmitted from one bird to another by direct prolonged contact.

    Chook Leg Spray

    Been a bit cold this winter so a bugger of a thing to use if you don't warm it first. Once spray is working though it it easy to use and saturate girls legs. Will have to wait and see results though.

    Scaly Leg Spray

    Great product, results can be seen the next day.
    The only problem is catching the girls to spray them, not willing participants!

    Great product

    The scaly leg spray is easy to use, there are no nasty chemicals and it is definitely making a difference to my hens leg problem. Appletons is such a good company to deal with.

    Scaly leg spray

    Easy to use (once your chook stops squirming) and spray gets right into the crevices under the affected scales. Smells nice too.
