Hi
This morning when I went to let my chickens out I noticed some small red insects on my coop. I was just wondering if anyone knew whether they are spiders or red mites so I can treat accordingly

The farm I am a student has told me that these are mites before when they've had problems with them with their poultry but I just wanted to check before purchasing any treatments.
 
Ok. Will purchase the necessary treatment
I’m not sure how to go about reaching out to you so I’m sorry if I’m doing this wrong. I have the same little red mites in my coop. Just a few I can spot and none on my birds that I can see. But I want to eliminate them before it grows into a huge problem. I’ve been sprinting DE in the coop and run but I wondered what you used and if it worked? Thanks so much! New to chickens here. 😣
