Bugs on my hen...need help!!!!!

[Grand-hen-ma]

Hello everyone. I hope someone can help me with this. My Plymouth Rock has these tiny, brown colored bugs on her head. My son and I were able to pick a few off and look at them. They remind me of a tiny flea, but they aren't fleas. Does anyone know what these can be? None of my other girls have any of these.

Thanks for any help or guidance.

Can you get a photo of them by chance? Could they be mites?

They are just so tiny. If you look at the non sharp head of a pin, that is about the size of them. I will look up pictures of mites. Thanks for the suggestion.

could it be poultry lice?

Def. sounds like lice to me. There are all kinds of powders/sprays for that. Check your local feed store. Very fixable. Treat all birds. Hope that helps.
