Yes but kissing birds puts you at a higher risk at getting sick. And as a nurse you must be around worse things, I understand. But don’t be reckless and go kissing birds.
I guess I don’t really “hug” my girls per say. Just hold them often. But I know I’ve said this lots (sorry if it’s kinda annoying lol) but kissing a chicken is really just gross. It’s pretty much asking for you to be on your deathbed
I hug my girls because I love them. Family’s with smaller flocks tend to give each chicken there own individual attention. I never kiss my poultry though.
Well you can hug your silkies. That won’t cause diseases to spread. Make sure you wash your hands after dealing with chickens. But NEVER kiss a chicken. That will DEFINITELY spread diseases. Giving chickens baths is unnessasary. Germs will still be on the chicken. Also giving chickens bathes...
