Little tiny bugs

[Heather1]

I post a new question nearly every day as a chicken newbie. Three times this week, after handling my six week old silkies, I noticed tiny little any like bugs walked on me. Really so small I could barely see them. Figure it is something on the chicks but have no idea what mites or lice or other chicken pests look like so I don't know how to treat. The chicks don't appear to be scratching or have any visable issue. Thoughts.

They are quite common and quite treatable. Here you go.
