Z on Oct 07, 2015I'm not sure if there's any others here that raise chickens, but I found a couple places that could help. The first being urban chickens and the second a forum all about backyard chickens. I hope you find some help for you feathered friends. http://urbanchickens.org/chicken-illness-injury-and-disease/http://www.backyardchickens.com/a/how-to-raise-backyard-chickens-in-your-city-the-basics-of-raising-chickensHelpful Reply

Debellen on Oct 09, 2015The scales on their legs gets thicker and looks worse the older they get. It is normal, and since we farm folks don't raise them as pets, we don't care how their legs look. If the other chicken can't walk, she most likely broke it. If you want, you can take it to a vet and they may be able to help you with it.Helpful Reply

Jo Pfeiffer on Oct 10, 2015It is called scaly legs and they are mites under her skin. Type in "The Chicken Chick" and she will give you the treatment options. She knows her chickens and has a wealth of knowledge on every topic for chickens.Helpful Reply

Patty mousty on Oct 10, 2015I use Bag Balm it's in a green medal tin. You can get it at feed stores or order it online. I put it on the chickens legs about every 3 or 4 days. It works good.Helpful Reply
