RE: Managing Scaly Leg Mite with Coconut Oil

Very very common thing, makes their legs look like dusty, or when it gets worse, their scales stand up and there's an encrustation. Silkies are especially prone. I didn't say that, did I - it's treatable by feeding them Ivermectin, which is out for organics.
They aren't very tame:) It's a rodeo. Once grabbed, they settle down.

Ha ha! I've participated in a few chicken rodeos, but never thought to hang that label off it. Love it!
