Can someone help me?

Can anyone help me identify what these bugs are and how to get rid of them? I have these little black bugs in my climate controlled 100% indoor coop, where my ducks are staying temporarily. They fly and are super small. Almost like a fruit fly, but I don’t know why there would be fruit flys in my coop. I was filling up my ducks waterer and noticed there were a ton on the wall so I got as close as I could and took some pictures. What are they and how do I get rid of them??

They look like sewer flies/drain flies to me, we used to find them in the bathrooms at our house sometimes. They like wet places.

Okok so keeping it as dry as possible will get rid of them?

On a side note, does anyone know where to find 1/2” hardware cloth as cheap as possible?
