Washbar Mighty Mite Poultry Leg Spray 100ml

Backyard chooks are making a comeback as more and more households switch on to collecting eggs from a chicken run in the back garden.

Responding to a growing demand for natural and healthy alternatives, Mighty Mite is an easy to use and effective way to control mites that cause scaly legs on chickens. Scaly leg is crusty, concrete-like deposits on chicken’s legs, caused by a mite burrowing under the skin and scales around legs and feet causing them to become raised and thickened. It’s unsightly, irritating, and can be painful for the affected chicken and if untreated will spread to the rest of the flock.
