Help not sure if It's mites or cannibalism?( added Pictures)

I am starting to see something sililar in my free range group....I went to collect an egg one of my girls JUST laid(still warm) and I saw the mites on the egg. I am treating them tonight before it spreads to my separated birds (checked them and they are clean)... gonna treat everyone just to be sure. The mites are real small btw...good luck

edited to say separating wont do anything if it's mites or lice....you will need to treat everything...coop, nesting boxes, birds, etc...

I'd do a bug check, but that mostly looks like picking damage in the pics. My flock looks about the same after this incredibly long winter. I've checked mine for bugs again and again, but I don't have any bugs- just problem birds that are being removed as I figure out who's the problem.

Good luck.
