How To Identify, Treat, and Prevent Chicken Lice

It might seem strange to learn that even chickens can become infested with lice. They eat bugs, after all, but these external parasites are not the typical run-of-the-mill chicken treat-type bug.

They spread fast and can cause severe problems for the entire flock.

Identifying an infestation early, and treating the flock quickly, is extremely important to prevent a decline in health, and in some cases death.

I want to mention not to panic if you find lice present in your flock. This has been a battle for generations and there are ways to identify, treat, and prevent lice on your chickens.
