Generally, they can't. But all it takes is one wild bird with lice flying over your chicken pen to drop a louse ready to lay eggs close enough to your chicken that it can get on the chicken and lay eggs for you to have an infestation.
The best preventative is for your chickens to have a good place for your chickens to dust-bathe, and to add both wood ashes and diatomaceous earth (the food grade type, NOT the pool type, as the pool type is poisonous!) to the dirt in their dustbathing area. Dustbathing is a chicken's natural prevention method, and it usually works very well.

They can and they can appear quite healthy and have them too. Most feed stores sell a good organic dusting powder for treatment of chickens with lice. Just dusting the straw or woodchips in the chicken coop will suffice. If you notice a spot around the yard where the birds regularly take dust baths, sprinkle some of the powder there also. Chemical dusting powders are also effective and available.
