Bird mites!

I just got two pairs of zebra finches two months ago. The birds all share the same cage. One of the females has a bald spot right above her beak. And she is always sitting on the bottom of the cage< shivering! Does she have red mites? I'm really worried about her! Their cage is very big (about 16in.x25in. big). It's also very clean! One of the females keeps picking on her! And I don't have a spare cage! Plus this female has eggs! I don't know what to do! I need help! Fast! I'm only an eleven year old beginner and I don't want my birds to die all of a sudden like my first bird!
