We keep a small flock of chickens in our backyard, and the kids and I have gotten sick off and on the past few months. We went to the doctor and found out we had an E. coli infection (EAEC strain) so we all got on antibiotics. My chickens have seemed fine, but I can’t figure out where else the infection came from. I started feeling sick a few days ago, and I’m worried it’s another E. coli infection. Has anyone experienced anything like this? I don’t want to keep getting reinfected. I try to have healthy practices like only wearing certain shoes into the coop and hand washing after caring for the chickens.
