Ugh!!!! My son had a friend over for the weekend and this afternoon I found out he has head lice. I ran to the store and bought lice spray and Lice shampoo. All the bedding and coats have been washed in hot water and the beds have been sprayed. Do I need to do anything with my chickens? I do know they looked at the chicks and maybe touched a few. Will head lice jump from human to chicken? What about my dogs and rabbits?
The shampoo did not do A THING for the lice when someone shared them with us. Did not even kill all the live ones. After about four weeks of trying every treatment we could find we bought a Robi-Comb. It was pricey, at about $29.99 from CVS but worth $99.99. It works by zapping the little creatures as you draw it through your hair. It took a little over a week of daily brushing but it worked!! I still.use it occasionally just for peace of mind.
