    Please help with questions regarding lice & housing. I feel so awful.

    It's been on and off cold and rainy where I am and because of some chronic pain issues I can't spend much time outside in the winter. I have been totally cleaning out my bantam coop as often as I can. It's a prefab coop with some reinforcements and not very big. There are four d'Anvers in it. I...
