Salmonella is not just from store-bought birds.
ReplyDeleteALWAYS wash hands after feeding/watering/handling these cute little backyard darlings. Even a plastic feeder can get contaminated. If you are not careful, you could end-up sitting on the toilet all night, with stuff coming out both ends. You might even give it to your other half.
Don't ask me how I know.
Try dipping the chickens in hot boiling oil, covered with 11 herbs and spices. That should cure any diseases!
