What kind of bugs are these?

[Suejordn]

I was under the impression that those were either Southern Red Mites, Clover Mites, or Spruce Spider Mites. Where are you located?

I’m in eureka California. They Don’t quite look like any of the mites I’ve seen pictures of. Maybe clover mites or spider mites from what I’m seeing on Google? I don’t know if this helps but a couple months back I first spotted them in the soil next to my chicken coop. Then I started finding a couple on the floor of my coop. After I dusted with poultry dust and sprayed with oil solution couldn’t find any for months. Now they are back

@featherhead007 and @LaFleche are both very knowledgeable so I'd take their suggestions

Look like mites. Get yourself some (Permethrin 10 livestock and premise spray.) little expensive, but lasts a long time. treat the coop, the stalls, perches, and your birds with it. Good luck.

OK, I had Permethrin powder not the spray. I powdered the floor of my coop and the pull out drawer. And also the walls in the nesting boxes. I also sprayed the outside of the coop with the oil solution. It seems like I would’ve noticed the chickens scratching or preening themselves more. But they aren’t at all just occasionally.

Either way, I feel confident that permethrin will take care of whatever it is.

I'm on the other side of the country, in North Carolina. I've had the clover mites and they seem to be more prevelant whenever it's wet outside

I see, thank you. Yes it’s definitely wet weather here in Northern California. Especially this time of year

Some might have stayed hidden under the shingles of the chicken coop.

You can mix up the spray stronger to use on premises, but the label will give you directions for whatever you're treating.

Mites attack at nite usually

The spray mixture is easier to apply, and will limit the possibility of respiratory illnesses in your flock

Permethrin 10, Martins or Gordons, comes in pints, quarts, and larger containers and is mixed with water in a spray bottle or garden sprayer, for as little as $8 and up. The permethrin poultry dust may be preferred for treating chickens in cold weather. Mites require treating at 7 days intervals at least twice, and the coop, roost, and nests should also be sprayed once bedding is removed. Here are some pictures with links on red poultry mites:
