[COLOR=0000FF]Hello,[/COLOR]
[COLOR=0000FF] I am so excited to be apart of this group, we started our chicken farm last year.[/COLOR]
[COLOR=0000FF]We have 26 chickens 3 of which are roosters. We are trying to find the smallest one a new home. John Wayne is a great leader and keeps the girls in line. Barnabas the one in my picture is just so handsome and huge so I keep him around. plus we have 4 new buff girls and 4 white hens. I looked through all the designs of chicken coops and got some really great ideas. I do have a question, My grand kids run bare foot outside and in their chicken coop. Can they get any horrible diseases[/COLOR]
[COLOR=0000FF] from doing this?[/COLOR]
[COLOR=0000FF] Thanks Gigi[/COLOR]

(Listen, sorry for being late again. I have a life outside of BYC, unlike you. Got things better than to argue about imaginary crowns. Game over)(Why are still even trying, it's so blatantly obviously that I won this long ago. Now you're just trying to come up with something anything to dethrone me but it isn't going to happen!)
(Did you see my question about our coyotes?)Gigi!!!!!
It's always great to meet a new BYC member and fellow chicken enthusiast!
Your rooster is gorgeous!
First off, for the topic of zoonotic transmissible diseases, it's highly unlikely that your grandchildren will contract anything from a healthy flock of chickens. Contrary to popular belief, Salmonella and such can only be contracted by ingesting the actual bacterial germ. It had been proven that being around animals can actually boost a child's general immunity.
But it's always a good idea to:
1. Never let your grandchildren kiss or put any part of the chicken in their mouth.
2. Try to avoid having them touch feces.
3. Always have them wash their hands immediately with antibacterial soap and warm water after handling/entering the chicken pen and ALWAYS BEFORE THEY EAT, DRINK, OR USE THE BATHROOM!
If they follow these simple guidelines, your chickens will provide innumerable hours of amusement and affection to both you and your grandchildren.
