give him boiled eggs daily for extra protine kick

Please note that eggs are 64% fat and 34% protein by energy. They are a good source of protein and other vitamins and minerals BUT should only be given in moderation... and I don't know about daily.

No house chicken didn't get mites
Mites only happen to chickens who are free range ND Contact with wild birds

Maybe you have info we don't about this being a house chicken?

Anyways... I'm an over thinker and can think of LOTS of ways a "house chicken" could get mites... short outdoor visits, brought in on someones clothes or by their other house pets, or if they bring in any dirt or grass or weeds maybe.

Ah

Ahaa we use only clean fresh newspaper as bedding and a perch for sitting

there are plenty of choices for bedding -- where are you located? here in florida i have been using sand, sawdust/wood chips and in one area a big compost pile, leaves, grass and table scraps; open your own question in the bedding area and I am sure folks will provide help!

You need to respond to Coach's questions... I also disagree about that looking entirely like molt... It does NOT look like molt to me. It looks like an injury or something.

Some mites are microscopic so you will NEVER see them. Others only come out to feed on the bird and so you may never see those either. The ones that you can see are often concentrated around the vent area, easier viewing after dark with a flashlight.

Please... how many other birds do you have in how much space. Are they male or female?

Most people use pine shaving or rice hulls or hay for bedding. You prevent smell and keep it clean by scooping and replacing as needed.

Adding your location into your profile can help others make relevant suggestions more easily at a glance without having to ask... since things in the states are not the same as other locations as far as what is available and such.

Just here to help... no judgement meant in any question or statement.
