Help! Can't get rid of feather lice in my free range chickens!

Hi,
We are having same problem and been treating with sevin dust and Gordon’s spray inside the coop and repeated in 10 days. We can not get rid of the lice. Can we spray Gordon’s on the chickens themselves or just the walls, boxes etc?

You can spray it on the birds. I think the dilution is ~5 ml per quart.

Lice live only on the chicken, so yes you have to treat the chicken.
