That nothing other than chicken mites. Solutions is having your chicken dusted regularly (use dudu dust). For now apply Vaseline jelly around the head and eyes (enth-vet) or centrino cream. Spray the birds too with ectomin then going forward dust regularly.

There's also some liquid medicine for that. You apply on them using a cotton wool and put some in their water to drink.visit an agrovet and ask for it.& follow instructions, its rather strong!
