Question Found what looks like lice on the chickens...
should I be concerned about the goats?
I posted something about possible treatment ideas on the chicken forum...seems DE is an option I've read, but is it safe around the goats?
Thoughts?
Argh...

Seems I answered my own question on Fiasco. Safe, but use food grade (as I would around the chickens)...pardon me, as you were

Parasites rarely infest more than one species unless they are closly related.

The chicken mites most likely won't bother the goats at all
