Help, bugs in my coop....don't know what they are!

Hi Everybody,
I went in my coop today to find a bunch of bugs around the edge of a bowl that had some food scraps in it. They are tiny!! When I took the bowl outside to see better they immediately crawled up my arms. They are so small it's hard to even see what they are, they can crawl and jump and are kind of a light brown color. I was using poultry protector but admit I haven't in a while. What are they and what should I use to get rid of them? Thanks, Jen

they sound like fleas! I don't know...Did they bite? Have you checked your chickens to see if they have some sort of mite?

They don't look like any off the fleas, lice or mites that I googled. I'm going to tractor supply now to see what I can find.
