DE won't do anything for the leg mites or the mites she has on her.

It sounds like she might be anemic and weak from the mites feasting on her. What I would do is buy some Ivermectin Pour On and dose her with that, a couple drops to the back of her neck. That will kill the leg mites and the body mites. You might also want to pick up some permethrin or Sevin dust and dust her with one of those. That will kill the mites she has on her body.

You'll want to treat the other two as well because if she is infested, so are they.

If I use the Sevin how long would I have to dispose of the eggs?

Is there anything I can do to help her with the anemia?

You don't have to at all.

The quicker you get rid of the bugs the better.

I am not sure how one would go about using dust in your coop but you really need to treat the coop too.
That is where the mites live and they come out at night to suck the chickens blood.
