lice and bathing chickens in apple cider vinegar

[claireylow]

sorry i just posted this in the wrong thread try again

My girls and ducks have got lice, and are getting really irratated by them, i have ordered in some spot on treatment which should keep it under control, but i am worried it is not going to get to us in the post before we go on holiday, i have just read on another site that bathing your chickens and ducks in warm water with washing up liquid, then another bath with warm water and apple cider vinegar can really help - can anyone confirm, i keep reading about adding it to their water, but i just want them to feel happier, they are all scratching, and flicking their wings, sad chickens and ducks
