I've heard of using Seven Vegetable Garden dust - I haven't tried it myself. It comes in a red bag and you can find it at Walmart and home/garden stores. I'd probably put it out where the chickens could dustbathe in it and all around the inside and around the coop. We use Ortho Home Defense spray around the house so I'd probably put some of that on the bottom of the roost (mites like to hide there during the day and chickens won't come into direct contact with that spot) and in cracks and corners.
Knock on wood, but my birds seem OK. I've bought some flea powder and mixed it with ashes (they were already dustbathing in the ashes so I added a little extra peace of mind).
Good luck getting rid of them.
