Help please! Mites on broody hen

[Hemlock Hollow]

I have mites on a broody hen with eggs about to hatch next week. What can I do? Is there anything that will kill mites without hurting eggs?

Do you know what type of mite?

Northern or red mites, I'm not sure. But they are not scaly leg mites.

what did you end up doing??? I’m going to check mine in a couple hours but my broody is on day 16 and her comb is pale. I got her to eat some cat food and a little feed yesterday but after just researching more I’m going to check her for Mites.
