The specks could be lice. I would try to look at the others in the morning. Count the legs. Mites have 8 legs and are more oval, while lice are straw colored and have 6 legs and are more eleongated. Permethrin garden dust or spray will treat either of those. Here is a good article to help identify the specks:

At 7:09pm Goldie died peacefully, she died of heart failure and thankfully she wasn’t suffering when she was passing. Thank you all so much for the support I really appreciated all the help you have given me. ❤️❤️
 
I had an egg bound hen (large Blue Orpington). I got a dishpan, and used warm water with about 1/2 cup epsom salts in it. Put her in the dishpan - in the bathtub, closed the curtain to make it dark. Put a towel over her and soaked her for about an hour, two times per day. I've got to check my records to see what else I gave her or did to her, but in a couple days she layed a nasty, yuky egg and lived for about 5 more years..
