Yes, that appears to be lice eggs at the base of the feathers. DE will not help such an infestation. Permethrin dust or spray is very effective against lice. You alao cannfind permethrin 10 concentrate to mix with water with a spray bottle or garden sprayer. Elector PSP is alao good, but more expensive. They must be treated at least twice at 10 day intervals. The coop bedding and nests should be cleaned out, sprayed with permethrin, and new bedding applied. Here is a good article to read:
