I think a lot of people use it but have read that some pet owners have found it no longer works for their cats and dogs.  The pests have become resistant against it.  Not sure if pests on hens are the same.

I use frontline spray which my vet prescribes for any lice and mite treatment on my hens. As none of the cat/dog treatments are licensed for hens you really should go to a vets and get them to prescribe it - you will need to sign for them.
Staffies are softer than you think.

as I have already explained I go to my vets as it isn't licensed and I buy the spray version. You can buy it from a shop but if you say it is for chickens then they will not sell it to you.
