we already killed our meat chicken but we used shavings and did the deep litter.We did use diatomaceous? earth which is used in some pool fiters or at the garden store.For my egg layers I sprinkle monthly seven dust where they dust and in their coop.It is farly safe even for areas your dog lays.Is your chicken have lice you wouold be able to tell by picking them up by thier legs upside down and looking by the vent ,you would see tiny moving things and they would be on your hands.It is easy to get rid of if treat and clean.Also the hot water you dip them in to pull feathers should kill anything on them or the torch to burn off pin feather will kill them.
