Chickens don’t get fleas

Well he has some sort of infestation i had him lay with me to keep him warm and about 20 little critter flea looking things ran onto me whether they are mites or what not how do i get rid of them?

Lice probably! Mites are usually near a chicken's head and eyes. Local produce stores usually have fowl lice treatment

I would start with premetherin dust. Dust your entire flock. If one bird has creepy crawlies, they all do. Repeat in 7 day intervals till all bugs are gone.

Can i use this stuff? And how much should i use on the 2 week old baby? And yes definitely will dust the whole flock

I've never used that, so I don't have any idea. It looks like it's labeled for poultry, so that's a good thing.

I hold the bird upside down by the legs. Puff of powder on bum an under each wing, then fluff though feathers with a gloved hand.
