What are these little insects on my coop.. ?

[Charlietapp]

Hi
Is anyone able to tell me what these insects are on my coop please? We're new to keeping poultry (4 bantams) & haven't had any mites before. I didn't think they looked like the pictures I've seen of red mite but don't know what they are!
Thanks in advance.
Charlie

Throat isn't a mite, beyond that I don't know but I wouldn't worry.

Try to pick one up if it is the big I think it is then it will hiss when you pick it up my chickens love them

They're tiny, smaller than an ant!

Looks like a grain beetle. Not a parasite.

Pic not clear enough for positive ID, but not a chicken parasite.

They can get bigger than that I have had some that are as big as a thumbnail
