    Mites on Baby Chicks

    I had my Silkie hen brood a set of five eggs, they all hatched. now they are 3 weeks old. I decided I wanted to try to sex them and when I did I saw little bugs around the vents. I have some poultry dust but I'm not sure I can use it on them, can I and is there any other way to help them?
