any simple remedies? We tried feet bathing in oils and things.
I hate seeing her in pain. But I was also wondering, I'm a vegan that raises chickens and I was wondering if anyone else here raises chickens ( for fun or if their parents farm the eggs\meat) that are also against meat and animal products ? Any poultry raising vegetarians or vegans?

You have that spot on . In some breeds leg mites are treated wit a coating of Vaseline. Sadly some breeds seem more prone to leg mites, others vent lice. The big thing is you keep up with the basics of "Poultry Spa" a place that is sandy and has a bit of wood ash that a hen can dust bath in. That could be so cool if Chicken Smoothie could come up with a hollow log pet bed design that the poultry people could decorate with sand. I have even caught my dog rolling in the 'sand box' but I doubt she was doing it for mite control.
