mites on my broody hen help!!

[chickhatch]

hi, I have a broody hen laying on 4 fertile eggs, I am not quite sure of the hatch date, but they are around 15 days in. She originally started incubating these eggs in the communal nesting box with I left her in until about day 12-13, I noticed that mites were beginning to become a big problem in there. I have since completely cleaned the communal coop. I have moved her to her own hutch thing where she has an indoor nesting space and a little run with food and water. as I've been watching I have noticed she still has lots of mites on and around her. I have pestene powder that I have been using but I have not put anything near or on her or her eggs. does anyone know what I should do to get rid of the mites or whether it will be alright to let the chicks hatch with the mights, if so how do I treat the mites when the chicks hatch? thank you any suggestions are welcome??!!

Try some permrethrine based products. clean out the coop completely, bedding, nests, etc. Use the product, bring fresh litter in. it might be best to hatch the eggs inside in an incubator, the chicks can get mites.
