My chickens have lice and I ordered some Permethrin because the Elector ESP is taking forever to arrive. The label on it says good for goats, horses, dogs, coops, but does not mention the dosage for use ON chickens. How much do I put in how much water to spray on them? Or is this not safe? Thanks
 
Permethrin is safe for chickens. I use the powder though so I can't answer your question. The powder can be put into a nylon sock, like a knee-high, and used as a powder puff all over the chickens, under their wings, between their legs, etc. The liquid makes a good spray for the coop, to get between boards and in cracks, on and under the roost, etc. I think you can also spray the chickens but an Educator like @Eggcessive, @coach723 or @Wyorp Rock might know more about that.

Corrected typos
