I found littel red bugs all over my rooster. we bought him awhile back. he is the only one who has them. how do i kill the mabe mites?
 
Those sound like red mites, which can potentially cause death. Separate rooster from the rest of the flock, and make sure none of the other birds have it. You could probably find a powder to dust them with for prevention, and to kill the mites.
 
Diatomaceous earth (food grade) might help. Maybe give him a dust bath in it? Google diatomaceous earth and mites on chickens and see if anything comes up. Sorry, I'm not an expert on this, hope you can get some help!
