To confirm a lice infestation, look at the skin around her vent. You should see the lice creeping around. The feathers around the vent would also have these nits glued to the feather shafts.

You need to dust her with poultry permethrin dusting powder. Then dust her again a week later. Then keep watch on her (all the flock if you have more than this one) for signs of new hatches crawling around the vent.
