Little bugs on my chickens!

[asianchicken]

THere are these little black and brownish tiny mite things on my chickens. The chickens now have a pretty big patch of red skin on their backs with no feathers in the patch. How do I get rid of these pests?! Please help!

You'll probably need to treat them with poultry dust or sevin 5% or something similar. Completely clean and treat the coop and living areas. Then retreat in about 10 days. Here's some info:
