The CDC (Center for Disease Control) has issued warning about kissing your fowl friends as backyard farming has become more popular. 53 salmonella outbreaks linked to live poultry caused sickness in 2,700 people. Unfortunately this includes the cute and cuddly baby chicks. The CDC urges parents to make sure children wash their hands after handling any poultry and to never allow the fowl into your home. Guess this means I will reconsider getting a chicken coop as I would be prone to over handling. Back to the drawing board.
