    Leaves as bedding

    Side note I've always used my oakleys for years and the chicken run it's very helpful mixing it with the pine shavings etc but this is the first year one of my chicken got lice. I can't help but wonder if the lice might have been in the leaves from a wild bird? Now I'm hesitant to use the leaves.
