*HELP! Baby chicks -- dying one after the other- notice little bugs too*

[furbabies86]

Hey so my bantam just recently hatched some eggs first time the last two days. So far three or four have died unexpectedly. Not sure if she is accidentally suffocating them but I got nervous and removed the remaining four and put them in their own little coop with a heat lamp food and water. I noticed tiny little bugs on them though. What can I do to help them get rid of these bugs & because i found these bugs I assume I should clean the outside big pen that have my bantams in it as well correct? HELP PLEASE FIRST TIME!

Pics would help.
But they probably have mites or lice (the little bugs) and that is probably what is killing them.

Ok and how do you treat them ?

Treatment will depend on what they are. Can you get a picture?

Trying to. They’re very very very tiny and black and move around. I had them on me when I picked one up. I’m trying to see if I can get a pic of them on them

I picked three of them up and I couldn’t see any on them. Only pic I could get was a pic of one crawling on a shaving. Sorry but it’s all I could get at the moment

You can’t even tell what it is. I’ll try and get a better pic and send when I can

Also!!! Momma is not happy and searching for her babies now. Am I able to give them back ? I’m afraid to since the others didn’t survive. What can I do?
