Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Scurry, the pekin bantam has got really rough skin on her legs, compared to Snowy's. I only noticed today because it's one of those rare occasions where I managed to catch her, I clipped her nails too as she has a couple of wonky toes. I don't have any vaseline so I have put a thin smear of Sudocream on her feet & legs ( it was the only thing I could find that was vaguely suitable). I'm not sure if its just where the weather has been so wet and she has been more susceptable. I couldn't see any mites on her legs and she's walking ok and behaving normally. Any ideas, I don't have a chicken friendly vet nearby. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Ain't Nobody Here Posted January 29, 2009 Share Posted January 29, 2009 Before I noticed this was in the Clinic, I thought it was you that had this . Sorry, no help (but I love that she'll be smelling like a baby's bottom at changing time ). Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Having had a quick surf on the 'net I think it may be a mild dose of scaly leg. I am off to the pet shop to pick up some scaly leg spray. Might be easier than try to put vaseline on a wriggly bantams legs! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Mrs Webmuppet Posted January 29, 2009 Author Share Posted January 29, 2009 Got some scaly leg lotion from the feed store. Doddle to apply once I caught Scurry, just hope it does the trick I have to apply it every other day for 12 days. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
