Hi. So, recently I've noticed that one of my little Orpington chicks had been a lot sleepier than the others, and when I inspected its face closer I noticed a bunch of red mites around her comb :(

When I went to go check my adult hens, (i have three) I found there was a HORRIBLE infestation on two of my silkies, and with the other one I can't seem to find them but I know they're there, she's just the fluffiest. My head hen's crown is all messed up and there are eggs all over her head and there are piles of mites on my littlest hen. I can only really see them on their heads.

I just want to know what are the best treatments that others have used and what cleaning procedures I should take for the coop.

I know its red mites cause I was able to get one of the first-mentioned chick and look at it under the microscope that I own. It looks like all the other pictures, so.
