My hen maxi has lost all her belly feathers and bum feathers and her bum is bright red and swollen. I find out that all my chickens are infested with lice, so I have cleaned their coop and covered them all in lice powder. I don't think she is laying either, but she seems very happy otherwise. could the lice be causing this problem or could it be a molt which is why she isn't laying?
