Invest in a cheap bottle of a permethrin based spray.
Treat both the bird and the coop, concentrate on the cracks of the coop.

Does this attach to the hose? Or do you make your own solution, and scrub?
I have discovered a new hen has scaly mites and I found lice nits around her vent. I didn't see any critters scatter when going through her.
So very upsetting when I worked hard to keep my chickens safe :/ however reading I've learned it happens to the cleanest of chicken keepers

I haven't seen one that attaches to a hose.
There are some that can be sprayed right out of the bottle and there are some that need to be mixed with water then sprayed.
Think cheap spray bottle ..add the concentrate and water then spray.


Scaley leg mites can be treated with this type of spray:
