Enjoying backyard chickens starts with a few simple habits:
Wash your hands with soap and water after handling poultry or anything around your flock. Help children wash theirs, too.
Keep poultry outdoors and away from kitchens and other areas where food is prepared or served.
Children under 5, adults 65 and older, and people with weakened immune systems should not handle live poultry.
💛 Love your birds, but skip the kisses and cuddles. (We know it's hard!!!)
Which flock-care habit is second nature at your house?
