How to treat for lice

Absolutely! I always sprinkle a fine layer down first when I change the bedding. I think bleach should work just fine.

Thank you for replying!

I used the Adams on a bantam rooster DH picked up a week ago who had lice. Maybe it is risky??? But the rooster never acted sick or anything, and I haven't found one louse on him since the day after his treatment. I'm actually going to try a little shot of cat Frontline Plus for his next round, as he still has nit clusters around his beard area that I'm afraid may hatch... We tried dusting, but I'm horrible at it - I don't feel that I do a good job of getting it down to the skin everywhere and seem to end up with more on me than on the bird.

teach1rusl The egg clusters I found on my hen (lice eggs) I carefully clipped off. Hers were on her rear though, you might not want to do that to your Roo's beard. Good luck
