Hello and welcome to BYC! Glad you joined.
How certain are you that they're depluming mites? Are you sure that the chickens aren't ripping each other's feathers out? Can you please post pictures of your chickens?

Hello and welcome to BYC!

Can you get photos of the feathers in question? Depluming mites will leave just the stalk, no feather on the shaft. You need to keep in mind that even if you kill all these mites off, the birds won't molt out these ratty feathers until fall when they will grow new feathers. So the only way you can tell that you've made a difference right now is that no new damage is appearing.

Hiya, and welcome to BYC!

I agree with the others that this may be something else. Please get a few close-up photos of the damaged areas on them. If you can't catch them to do this, go in at night when they're roosting.
