Fowlpox or mites? Or both?

The best time to handle them is to take them off the roost after dark, and use a flashlight. I am leaning more toward it being mites, but you would be the best judge. Here is a good pic of sticktight fleas:

Yeah, mine dont look like that, in this pic you can actually see the individual beasts but all i can see is black. So mites maybe...posted the above before seeing this. Either way, I think selemectin works for both so i will dose them up and apply oil to afected areas.
 
I think it is a bad case of mites, but you should be able to see mites moving slowly. Below are the northern fowl mites which come on them at night.
