Avian Bird Flu, other maladies and free ranging

[LarryPQ]

Stop worrying about stuff like that. First of all, we don't even have the bad H1N1 strain here in the U.S. as far as I know.

You are right--it has not been in the US according to the CDC and the USDA.

Jhillsomo- just wash your hands after cleaning in the coop and you will be fine.

As for your sick birds--follow the treatment schedule on the medications you bought, and you should be fine. Try & keep the tweety birds out of the coop & put apple cider vinegar in the chooks' water to prevent transmission of disease.​

Actually there are a whole bunch of things that birds can share with people. Out of respect for the o.p. I will not list them here <vbg> but most (not all) of them are in the general genre of "things that give you food-poisoning type illnesses".
