Hello! Can someone please tell me if these are red poultry mites? They are covering the pavers/ground around my chicken coop and are also in the sand in the run. They scamper around during daylight which doesn’t seem like poultry mites but I’m at a loss right now. Cleaned out and treated my whole coop/run with Elector Psp on Thursday and as of today (Sunday), the ground is still covered with these bugs.
Also, I haven’t seen any mites on my hens but I have 2 that have been loosing feathers around their vents. I even took them to the vet and the vet said it wasn’t mites. But then I found them all over the ground so clearly there’s an infestation.
Ideas??
PS - this photo is super zoomed in. These bugs are TINY
