Wondering too. I think mine may possibly have mites too but then again it might be the coops too small and theres a lot of flies and gnats cause its summer now so idk. Working on cleaning it more often and of course getting the new coop built. Poultry Protector helps somewhat but i dont do it regularly enough. Flies inside too. The flies are really especially bad. Not sure if it's me and my not cleaning enough or if flies are just a summer problem?

I use sevin dust. I dust the birds real good. With lice i give them a bath with dawn dish liquid. I sevin dust their coop, bedding and their favorite dusting places. It does the trick.
