Scaly Leg Mite Treatment - Update

The Chooks were given a vaseline-ing the other day to treat their scaly leg mite. These images show their legs and feet 2 days after treatment. You can see that heaps of dirt has stuck to the vaseline, however, some of the scaly bits have dropped off which I am pleased about. You can just see some smoother, slightly pinker skin beneath.

Sparrow running is a very funny thing indeed.

Delightful chook portraits.

Do you notice the plastic container on the bench seat?

Yes, well, um, while the baby peepers were getting cat biscuits as a temporary ration, the cat decided that he liked the taste of chicken pellets!
