Bullied hen, can’t walk.

Thank you, but I found these on her eye today, are they mites?

Some morbid news, the hen was just in too much pain, I came home from work to find her leg decaying from the mites and she was shaking in pain, the suffering out weighed the survival chances so we put her down. It was hard, but now we have some resources for the future, so it’s all good. We’re going to try and disinfect the coop to eliminate any leftover mites

I'm sorry to hear about your hen.

Looks like Lice in the photo.
It's a good idea to treat all of your flock and their housing with a Permethrin based poultry spray or dust. Repeat in 7 day intervals.

Hope you are able to eliminate the bugs.
