    Is it Safe to Pet My Chickens?

    Hello! I'm quite new to this whole chicken rearing thing (I don't even have a flock yet, or a coop for that matter!) and I was curious on the health issues of petting your chickens.

    Cocci

    I just lost my 3 baby chicks in the last 24 hours. I believe it was cocci since I found two dead with little spots of blood around the brooder. They seemed fine the day before but dead by morning. The last one seemed fine this morning just a little quieter. We started the Corrid yesterday within...
