I just bought 4 new hens from a lady and I brought them home and they have mites. I always keep my new chickens separate from my flock for about a week to make sure they don't have anything that could be passed on to my chickens. I done this with these and after about to days I realized there was something wrong and it was mites. So my question is is there anything that I can get to treat for this that is organic? I have never had this problem before help please.

If you sprinkle Diatomaceous earth in the area where they are kept it should get rid of them.

something my grandpa always did for lice/mites was, pour woodash in their dusting spots, they dust themselves with the ash and it kills the mites/lice...
