lice life span and do they live during the winter?

[chick_magnet]

I don't know much about lice. If my chickens have lice will they die as winter is closely approaching.
Thanks if not any treatment

Lice live on birds year round. They actually often get more numerous in the winter, as the birds are unable to "dust" themselves to help in removing them. I routinely treat for them in the fall before I lock my birds up for winter.
