Can i treat the chickens with elector psp as a preventative for mice and lice ?

I have three orpintons about 18 weeks old, two are hens and one is a cockerel. I was wondering if i should continue using grower food and adding oyster shell for the ladies or switch to something else ?

yes it does make sense, I was also wondering what do i use on the window frame when I hang the cover over the window to keep it open in the summer? I know hinges hold it on.

I rose one of the bars but unfortunately the bars are not long enough to put under the window. would it be fine to still but the ventilation above the bar ?
