Upon inspecting the bugs in their feathers and the bugs in their coop it looks like they might have both mites and lice!!! I took one of each and looked at them under a microscope and the ones in their feathers looked like what I saw when I searched “chicken lice” up on google and the ones in the coop looked like what I saw when I searched “chicken mites” up on google. Pls tell me I’m wrong and it’s just part of their life cycle or something. What do I do???

Yes defintely looks that way, and you are very, very welcome. Hope you can get it all taken care of in them. Just be vigilant with it. It's not fun, but you can get rid of them; just remember about retreating for the second cycle.
