help please

Could be wood mites. I get them and while usually I just shower right away, because they give me the feeling I always have something crawling on me for the rest of the day if I don't, they never made me itchy.
Just treat the houses with a insecticide maybe once or twice, and you should be fine! :)
 
The 10% permethrin spray or a dust like prozap garden and poultry dust will likely be the best bet, the liquid should have a dilution amount for poultry in the directions, mine is 1 part of the liquid to 99 parts water, spray down the coop well and repeat in 10 days, you can spray your chickens with it too if you need to.

I don't know where you live but I bought mine at Mill's Fleet Farm, they are in Northern WI, MN, IA, Dakotas.  Tractor Supply Co, Blain's Farm and Fleet, any stores like that will likely have it as well as any good feed store


Can you tell me how much Permetrin you would need to mix with about 2 gallons of water ?

what is the recommended mix on the bottle you have? I could figure it or for 2 gallons but you would have to tell me your brands recommended mix, it might be different than what I had. For my bottle I would ad 2.5 ounces to 2 gallons water

That would work out to 1.28 oz for 2 gallons which is actually a little lighter than by bottle calls for but yours may be a different concentration or have other ingredients.
 
It would be slightly more strong than recommended, whether or not you would notice any adverse effects I can't say, my opinion would be is it were my birds they would probably be fine as it's just a tiny bit more, that is to to you
