Brooder babies have mites?? What to do?

[shelleyd2008]

I was just holding one of my 2 week old cochin bantam chicks, after cleaning a poopy butt. I looked down at my shirt, and had tiny little bugs on me?? I assume this is mites, how can I treat this in baby chickens??

describe the bugs to me, they might be lice if so they would be easier to treat. i don't know if dusting them at such a young age would be safe... ask threehorses she will be able to help, she helped me.

These are just little black specs, if they didn't move I wouldn't have noticed. They look like dirt.
