Looks like lice. To rid them, you need Permethrin Dust, or spray, & treat everybody.

Also a full cleaning and treatment of the coop is needed. Repeat the treatment in 7 to 10 days to get all the newly hatched bugs.

They are blood suckers and can kill the birds.

I always clean the coop. Do you think cleaning her with water will help? Or any thing mixed with water?

She needs permethrin treatment as the infestation is quite bad.

Bathing her could stress her past her tolerance and she could die since she is already weak.

Cleaning the coop means removing all bedding and nest material and spraying every surface with a permethrin spray paying extra attention to the nooks and crannies.

This is what I have used. It has mixing instructions on the label.
It is sold in most farm supply/feed stores. It's less than $15 a bottle.

Where could I get the permethrin from do you know any places?

Read the inside label carefully for mixing instructions on Permethrin 10. The ready to use and permethrin garden dust is also available as well at TSC and other feed stores. Those could be mites. Look carefully with a magnifier. Lice have 6 legs, and mites have 8. Treat at least twice with permethrin dust or spray at 7 day intervals for mites, and 10 day intervals for lice. The coop bedding should be removed far away, the coop and roosts treated with permethrin, and new bedding added to nests and the coop floor. Here is a good link to read with pictures of lice and mites:
