Does the ag lime stop the chickens getting lice?

Agricultural lime (ag lime) can help control lice in chickens by creating a less favorable environment for these parasites. It works by drying out the bedding and reducing humidity, which can deter lice infestations. However, it is not a direct treatment for lice and should be used in conjunction with other management practices, such as regular cleaning and monitoring of the flock. For effective lice control, consider using specific poultry lice treatments as well.
