mites on my seramas

[mypurtychickens]

I got all of my seramas from the same man and apparently ALL of the have mites around their vents....what are the best treatments for mites? i really dont want it spreading to the rest of my flock. (30 other chickens) that would be a pain to treat all of those chickens lol

Get some permethrin 10% spray to treat your coop, and dust the chickens with permethrin garden dust or sevin dust. For mites, repeat in 7 days, and for lice in 10 days. Mites and lice can be confusing so here are some links to look at pictures and to help with treatment:
