The scales are actually the skin on its legs, this should be tough but not too dry.
Sometimes if the scales are very noticeable this is because a small mite has gone under the scale and caused the scale to thicken and appear to lift. This is very common, especially if the birds are free range and they can get infested from wild birds.
Scaly-Leg mites (Knemidocoptes mutans) are not life threatening but they can be irritating to the birds and make the legs look unsightly. If you oil the legs of your chickens regularly this will suffocate the mites.
