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.
