Lice?

[silverlaced44]

Hi
How can I treat lice in my chickens? I go up to cuddle them often, and I have started to find lice in my hair after I get my face up close to their bodies. Can lice from chickens infect humans as well? How do I treat my chickens?

Thanks

I've provided a link for identification and treatment options.
You will want to clean out and treat your coop and nesting boxes as well.
Treatment needs to be applied 2x after initial treatment so you eradicate the infestation hopefully.
