Scaly Leg Spray 500ml

Description

Very effective organic treatment for poultry scaly leg mite.

This treatment is totally organic. A mixture of Cottonseed Oil and Eucalyptus.

Instructions

  • Spray oil on legs, avoiding the feathers. Saturate the affected areas. "Poultry Leg Spray" works by suffocation.
  • Gently massage the legs, ensuring all areas are covered.
  • Repeat every 3-4 days for 3 to 4 weeks.
  • Do not pick off the scale debris, as it can cause bleeding. The chickens will help by pecking the debris off the leg themselves. In cases where a chicken's scales are lost, they will not regrow.
  • Even if your other chickens do not have signs of Scaly Leg Mites, it is recommended that you treat them as well so that these Scaly Leg Mites do not establish themselves in your flock. It is contagious.
  • Check their legs regularly throughout the year.
  • There is no egg-witholding period.
  • Cleanliness and sanitary measures around the chicken coop are in order because the mites can live for long periods in cracks and crevices without feed and water.
  • Please store the bottle at room temperature and best used when the contents is warm. If it is too cold, the liquid will not move through the sprayer.

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.

          The scaly leg spray seems to be doing its job. Scales are starting to drop off and the chicken is walking so much better after a week of treatment.
          The applicator does not spray, it squirts, a big difference as a lot more liquid is used.
          I guess the next step is to disinfect the coop.
          Appreciate your help.

          Thank you for your feedback! We are very glad to hear that the Scaly Leg Spray is working and that your chicken is improving. 😊
          For the sprayer to work efficiently, please ensure the contents are warm; if the liquid is too cold, it tends to squirt out. Storing the bottle in a warm place should resolve this.

          Excellent product

          Fast shipping and the spray has been very effective. Very impressed, especially as this we've had trouble getting this one chook clear of scaly leg. This is the first product that's worked on her!

          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

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

          Nozzle on srayer squirted rather than a spray, but by rubbing the oil into the scales it has done the job.

          Great result!!

          My girl Pepper is prone to scaly leg mite bless her… only one if my 6 ladies who seem to be susceptible. Two days of using this and she has lovely smooth pink leggies again! Previously used just Vaseline but this sorted her more quickly and effectively for sure.

          Praise for leg spray and service

          Thanks for sending this spray so quickly, and so well packaged. The bantams seem to like the spray and their legs look better. Plus it’s so easy to use and smells nice. I do put on an old raincoat though!

          Great recovery!

          My girls were all at different levels of leg mite attack, but the day after spraying them they all looked so much better. We have had four applications now and they are all recovering well. Great product, highly recommend!

          Amazing Product

          First used this product in a brown shaver that was dumped with the most extreme case of leg mites i have ever seen. There was 15mm of scale on her legs and 5 to 10mm on her toes. 4 treatments over a week and the scale all came off. Sadly she ended up 3 toes but over all a great improvement.
