Permethrin is permethrin. Be thorough and make sure you follow up.

Awesome thank you so much , this is my first time dealing with mites .

Yes!
Use it for the birds and the coop.
Treat both every five to seven days for no less than three treatments.

Also note that it's sold already premixed ready to go.
Labeled for chickens too:

If the bugs you're seeing are more yellow/pale in color, you're more than likely dealing with lice, rather than mites as they tend to be a darkish-brown. Fortunately, lice are not as hard on the birds, and In my experience are easier to eradicate then mites. As mentioned, a Permethrin based product works best and is easily accessible at most feed stores. You'll want to clean all the bedding out of the coop, and spray down the walls, nesting boxes, cracks, roosts, etc. Ectoparasites tend to focus around the vent, neck, and wings, so when dusting/ or spraying focuse in those areas.

Omg it's not from my chickens they're all clean ...the mites coming up from my bathtub Handles ahhh I just found my sink coated in a bunch of these nasty things. I don't have that permethrin yet so I grabbed neem oil and coated my whole bathroom ugg.
