Does anyone know what these specs/dot are on the chicken poo? Are they some kind of insect eggs? Appeared about a week ago & seem to be multiplying…

Probably mite eggs or larvae.

If you don't want those, permethrin dust it today, then again in 10 days. If you're continually storing it, you might have to make it a weekly ritual.

If using for mulch, they most likely would be fine.
 
Debbie had some great info! Check on their belly and vent to see if they have any small insects on them. Take pictures if they do!
