Little buggy things!

[Fussy8]

Just the other week i was cleaning out the coop and I found little bugs that looked like spiders but they were flat and tan and had pinchers!!! I didn't think much of it until i started reading on here and found they could be bad...what are they?!?!

Mites? Google them and see if that's what they look like.

I look them up and they said all these things that my chickens don't have!! I am kind of freaking out!!!! If it is Mites are they deadly?!?!?!?!

Thank you that helps so very much! SO i am thinking they are not mites just crab spiders! they were like the size of half a penny and they are fast little buggers! I haven't seen them for a while but I will keep watching! Thanks for the help so far!
