Hi All,
I have an old coop that I bought from my neighbor some time ago and was trying to work on fixing it up when I
starting to feel sick. I have been diagnose with Hypersensitivity Pneumonitis. Dr says that those who work
around poultry or farming are susceptible to getting something known as farmer lung or chicken coop lung.
She advices people not keeping poultry. I was of course heart broken when I heard this. Lots of people
keep chickens, in fact the movement is growing.
Well my worst fear was my girls making me sick, now that I am sick I am wondering what to do.
I was reading that those who have pet birds can often get sick from them.
Has anyone dealt with this before or something like it? What did you do? Did you keep your birds or
have to get rid of them.
Basically, I don't know what to do, I love my birds and want to keep them but I also don't want to get sick
from them either. Not too sure what way to go here. Any advice from those who have kept poultry for a while
and getting sick from their dander and poo or what not.
Thanks
