1 of my hens has dry skin on 1 foot and it feels quite hard and it is sticking up in places could any give me any suggestions on how to cure it please

rub vasaline into it, daily. Is she moulting as the scales get replaced with mouting. If not scaley leg mite, vaseline suffocates them.

My broodies get similar after sitting on eggs for a few weeks.  I use vaseline on their legs once the chicks have hatched and it works really well.  Keep putting it on every couple of days for a week or two.  The dried dead skin softens and the hens peck it off.  Keep an eye out for sores though and have your wound powder and purple spray ready.  If you don't have wound powder cornflour can be used.  

Check that it is not bumblefoot as that would need different treatment.

The scaly leg spray is good. I used it. Sure I only paid about £7 and lasts ages.
