chocchick Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 Do you think this is mild scaley leg mite or just old age? Katy my beautiful clever has had raised leg scales for a very long time and has not laid eggs for about a year. She's about 3 . I've taken some photos. I was wondering whether to treat her as if she had it just in case I've studied the photographs on the omlet site. I should point out she has mud, aubiose and layers mash on her feet and doesn't have hideous discharge! It's the bits where the toes join the leg.

Christian Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It doesn't look especially raised to me chocchick Difficult to see on the photo edit - middle picture on top of the toe looks very slightly raised, but it could be the angle? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 1, 2009 Author Share Posted March 1, 2009 Top one looks OK, you can see it in other 2 pictures. It is at that point you mention and the bit above it. It feels rough. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Lewis Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It doesn't look particularly bed, but you could treat her for it just for peace of mind. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Egluntyne Posted March 1, 2009 Share Posted March 1, 2009 It doesn't look too bad to me. Any exudate under the scales? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
chocchick Posted March 2, 2009 Author Share Posted March 2, 2009 I've not seen any but then they have a muddy chicken pen and have quite dirty feet. She's hard to pick up and examine. I tend to peer at them while she is stood still eating. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
