Mites on hatching eggs

[TuxtheMutt]

I have a hen sitting on 5 eggs ready to hatch any day. I found mites on the eggs. I gave a good look at all the hens and saw no more but they are surely in the nesting box with the eggs. How can I keep them under control until the eggs hatch?

There's no easy fix here, you've gotta completely gut your coop, dust the coop and the chickens, and also replace the straw or wood shavings. You can dust the hen's nest and the hen and stick the eggs into the fresh nest.
