Pro - Does anyone else's nest boxes get soaked in rain?

[chuckmum6]

Any advice on scaley leg, I have just had a look at one of my girls and she has what looks like the start of scaley leg. A couple of her scales on her ankle are raise and a little crusty. I have smothered her feet in Vaseline for now. Any other advice welcome please. I was thinking I would soak her toes in some warm water with a touch of disinfectant tomorrow and then reapply the Vaseline. I'm just of to do a foot check on all the others now

Regular vaseline should do it, suffocates 'em

That was exactly what I thought! My boy and I have just greased up 10 pairs of legs! Three looked like they had it too, I just did everyone, very hard to do Pekin feet though!

Any idea how long will I need to do this for?

I find Camrosa really good (not for feathered legs though)
