I keep finding these itty bitty teeny weeny somethings crawling on my phone screen. Started about 7 to 8 days ago I had noticed one again about 5 days ago two or three of them, today within a 15 minute period of time 7 of them. After I killed the first six the seventh one I finally put under my scope and this is at the max magnification that it would possibly go to I hope these pictures are well enough that you can help me to identify these so I can properly treat my gals and my boy! I have woken up for the third morning in a row with multiple bites around my neck & ears, My husband woke up last week with multiple bites that are identical to those in which I have been waking up with. Extremely extremely itchy!

Those look like mites which such blood and cause anemia. Permethrin garden dust or ready to use spray can kill them. You can get the Gordons or Martins Permethrin 10 concentrate, which has to be diluted with water 1 tsp per quart of water, and that can be used on chickens in hot weather, or inside the coop after removing all bedding. Some use the more expensive Elector PSP found online.

I have elector PSP Will that work for these?! And do I just do the same type of spraying that I did for when I got it for Lice/louse?
Do you know if these are northern fowl mites or?
And do you know if they bite humans because we have all kinds of bites on us.
 
Yes, the mites can get on humans. Yes, the Elector PSP will kill the mites. Northern Fowl mites are one the chickens 24/7 while the common red roost mite only come on the chickens at night, and hide in the cracks of the coop during daylight hours.
