Good luck!

What are some ways to reduce the risk of Salmonella infection from live poultry?

Do not let children younger than 5 years of age handle or touch chicks, ducklings, or other live poultry without supervision.

Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water immediately after touching live poultry or anything in the area where they live and roam. Avoid touching your mouth before washing your hands. Use hand sanitizer if soap and water are not readily available.

Adults should supervise hand washing for young children.

Wash hands after removing soiled clothes and shoes.

Do not eat or drink in the area where the birds live or roam.

*******Do not let live poultry inside the house or in areas where food or drink is prepared, served, or stored, such as kitchens, pantries, or outdoor patios.

If you have free-roaming live poultry, assume where they live and roam is contaminated.

Clean equipment and materials associated with raising or caring for live poultry, such as cages or feed or water containers, outside the house, not inside.

Free range chickens also are very good at controlling grasshoppers and other bugs.

We just take our shoes off and wash our hands when we come in the house.
