    I think my chicken has lice!!

    I picked up my baby Polish the other day and a whole bunch of bugs jumped off of her. I gave her a bath and there are still a lot of them left between her shoulder blades plus whatever I can't see. A couple people told me they were probably lice. What should I do to get rid of them?!
