:-D Very easy and cheap way is to just buy a homebrand spray can of cooking oil, and go into the pen after dark, pick up birds giving legs a good spray. Repeat this several times a week and they will soon improve.
These mites live under the scales and the oil virtually smothers them.

Yes you can use Vaseline a lot don’t tho preferring to use edible oils
Vaseline is petroleum based

I tried applying Vaseline to a hens leg last night just to see how it would go = I recommend you rub it in well from bottom to top so it gets in under the scales and leave little on the outside of the leg = the hen started checking the stuff out and then tried to eat it – my concern regards her eating it is that it is petroleum based
