There's a bewildering array of treatments out there, all with their own devotees. There also a number of little visitors that your chickens could have.
I treat my birds with a spray called 'Mite-kill' It has a quick knock down rate ( kills the crawlies quickly) and persists for sometime on the bird. I give a spray under each armpit ( the birds  ) and one at the base of the feathers around the vent.

Just be aware that some treatments advise that you do not use/sell any eggs for a time afterwards (often called the 'withdrawal time').
Here is something that might be useful: http://www.chicken-house.co.uk/acatalog/Barrier_Louse_Powder_500g.html |

Total Mite-Kill is as good a product as any and is available in either liquid or powder form.
