Mites can make them anemic and die, so I would get some permethrin garden and poultry dust at your feed store and dust them all over once and again in 7 days, and possibly in 14 days. Permethrin spray can be used to treat the coop, nests, and roosts after removing all bedding far away, and replacing it with new. Here is a link with pictures of the dust which you can find at feed stores.

I’ll see if I can get those items.
They don’t have a mite infestation, maybe 10 mites each - they do have a bit of eggs in their feathers though. I’ve had the mite issue for maybe 10 months now, they didn’t seem to have any issues with them (they don’t really react to the mites, still act the same before the mites).
There isn’t any blood on the roosts or on them.
This chicken has more mites than the others which I’m assuming is because she dust baths less.
I can’t spot any mites in their bedding or on their roosts.
 
Can you get a closeup picture of the mites that you do see? Do they have 8 legs. Mites reproduce very quickly, so maybe the bug you are seeing is not a mite.
 
I can try get a clearer picture if needed
