Chickens with lice!

[Paws4fun]

I wouldn't be worried to much about what kind of bug is on them. I would get them treated PDQ. I know people that have had chickens all there life and get by with a wash tub of ashes in the coop, but if there infested already I would use something more toxic.

I have only seen a few bugs on one chicken - I am trying to avoid an infestation!!! Do you know of anything 'more toxic' I can get my hands on in Canada? Is a dog flea powder effective / safe to use on chickens?
