Ahh
For scaly mite its for the smearing on purposes - lots of smearing on the
legs.
The aim is to use something -- anything - that suffocates the blighters and
at the same time conditions the scales.
The best is the old version of dunking legs in jamjars of white spirit which
gets right up in under the scales and kills the mites but does dry up the
scales a bit more, followed by lashings of vaseline over the legs which
continues to work on killing the mites and really softens the scales.
Cod liver oil in small doses can be useful after moulting for feather growth
adn condition but I don't see its efficacy in killing mites. The scales need
something topical not internal.
