Today I bought from a poultry auction, a 1 year old cochin, and unfortunately she has lice. All my other chickens are very clean and healthy so I want to make sure that this one will not infest any of my girls. She is very pretty, and I want to try to keep her. I have a book about how to treat the lice and I'm going to get the powder tomorrow, but I would like to know if I cut all the feathers (as close as possible to the skin because she has lots of feathers) and then treat her with the powder to make sure she has no lice or eggs left on her (and I'm thinking to just cover her with a sweater), will her feathers grow back?
