HELP!!!! Swollen eye and mites

[amynw]

Hello everyone. This morning when I let my girls out I noticed one had a swollen eye. When I picked her up and held her I saw two teeny little white “mites” crawling in that general area. panic mode. How do I treat mites? How do I treat her eye? Are the two related? I’ve never had this problem before and I don’t know what to do

You can get Terramycin and put it in your hen's eyes and for the mites you can mix some dish soap and water in a spray bottle and spray it on her back.

Upon looking up some stuff online, I think it may be chicken lice?

It may be but the cures for both lice and mites are the same.
