Backyard chickens can bring a lot of joy, but they can also carry germs that can make people sick. With Campylobacteriosis and Salmonellosis ranking among the top five most reported diseases in the Health District in 2025, it's important for flock owners to take simple steps to protect their families and their birds.
🐔 Keep your flock healthy and your family safe by:
✔️ Washing your hands thoroughly after handling birds, eggs, or equipment
✔️ Limiting contact between your flock and wild birds
✔️ Wearing dedicated shoes and clothing when caring for your birds
✔️ Cooking eggs and poultry products thoroughly
✔️ Monitoring birds for signs of illness and reporting unusual sickness or sudden deaths to your veterinarian or agriculture department
