Well, it is really good to keep your coop as clean as possible. I thought they look like red clover mites but I am not 100% sure. They don’t bite chickens.

They look like red mites to me and yes they feed on chickens but live in the nooks and crannies in the coop.

Red clover mites live in plants and a lot of times you can see them during the day. If they are on your coop in the daylight smash one and it will leave a little red smear. Red chicken mites are similar, but they only come out at night

I would get rid of them! They probably feed on Chickens, or they wouldn't be in the coop!
