The condition is quite common among
fowls, and is worthy the poultryman’s
consideration.
There is noticed on the front nn-
feathered portion of the legs, or upon
the toes, elevated scales giving a
roughened, enlarged appearance, or un
even, grayish, rough crusts. This is
caused by a very small parasitic mite
which penetrates between the scales,
producing an irritation resulting in the
formation of serum, which dries, ac
cumulates and puslies out tbe scales.
The spread over the leg is very slow,
j both legs generally being affected. Later
