What is the best way to get rid of chicken lice?

[Molpet]

I haven't used it.
I *think* I saw where @Molpet has mentioned it before.

Yes
A lb of elemental sulfur powder in the dust bath. I also have used a DE applicator poofer in coop, under wings and vent.
Like DE don't breath when applying. I assume chickens in dust bath aren't breathing in dust anyway.
Supposed to be good for resistant mites.

A lb of elemental sulfur powder

The source I read said, "a handful," so I put a heaping cupful (measuring cup) in. I think I'll add more.

I checked a garden center for sulfur (it has many uses in the garden), but what they had was granular, and I wanted the powder.

This is where I ordered it:
https://seedbarn.com/products/sulfur-powder-10-lbs?variant=12544546209892
$20, plus USPS postage came to about $29.

Just FYI: sulfur powder is a very fine powder. I have it in a couple of plastic containers with snap lids and put a note on them to "open carefully." I don't want to spill and have that stuff poofing out everywhere.

I also put some in a sock and stretched that across the pop door opening of the coop. It rubs the chickens' back as they walk under it. I knew that they would be afraid of "that scary thing in the doorway," so the first few mornings, I only opened the pop door and not the people door so they would have to come out that way. Once the first hen did -- and nothing happened! -- the rest eventually followed.

Deal with the lice but also deal with the vermin that are bringing the lice into the coop. Bio security.....
