The scales are raised, and the legs become thickened and have a roughlumpy appearance. The disease is easily recognised as the mites are evident as tiny white spherical creatures, (approximately 0.5mm in diameter in the early stages). It is highly contagious and affects birds ofall ages, although older birds and feathered leg breeds tend to be more susceptible. It is most common in flocks kept on earht or in dry litter runs.\u003c\/p\u003e\n\u003cp\u003eIn the early stages Scaly Legs would appear to cause little inconvenience, but should it be neglected the birds lose condition, go lame and have difficulty in perching. In the worst instance mortality may occur.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Net-Tex","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":56996746821964,"sku":"12523","price":14.95,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1004\/6180\/5900\/files\/1497607628-48649600.png?v=1773684689","url":"https:\/\/www.burnhills.com\/products\/net-tex-poultry-scaly-leg-remover-500ml","provider":"Burnhills","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
