Did anyone notice certain chickens prone to Lice?!?!

[eeiko321]

ive got 2 chickens......

1. New Hampshire Red

2.) Issa Brown

i live in australia.

the New hampshire i realise has finer feathers & more sparse (less) feather than the Issa.
not only do i notice the Issa brown having more feathers......but the feathers actually seem more Furry...
alot more fluffy at the base.....making it a bit harder to see the base of the skin where the feathers connect to.

what i have noticed is that the ISSA is more prone to having lice crawling around its body.

i havent had time to dust them for a while...few months at least...
and ive checked this morning.... the new hampshire had NONE......
and the ISSA as usual...........was INFESTED...

its funnt because they sleep in a small coop together...
but it seems so much more rare that the New hampshire gets any lice


has anyone experienced this?

I have not experienced this... but I have heard that certain breeds and or particular birds seem to sometimes have a vulnerability to certain pests. Possibly from their roosting, living, grooming habits???
