What are these??

Stick tight fleas? Get some permrethrine poultry dust, clean out your coop, dust everything and put in fresh litter.

For future reference to be more helpful to anyone searching it is fowl ticks

We don't seem to have them here. Wonderful!
I'd guess that permethrin spray would also work, and do everything!

Just looked them up. lots of species, in the tropics and semi-tropics. They of course carry some poultry diseases, and like most ticks spend most of their life cycle off the birds, in their environment. And many feed at night, so look at the birds at night with a flashlight.
And, because most of them live most of the time off the birds, repeat treatments of the coop, run, bedding, all that, will be necessary.
Neither of you have added your approximate locations, so you will need to look up exactly what lives in your area.
Again, yuck!

This fellow member went through it with the exact tick in my coop. I am in Phoenix , AZ. I have lost 4 birds so far. It’s very frustrating.
