Hi guys. I’m new here. I did try searching several keywords before posting this question, hopefully I didn’t just miss it. There’s a long winded version and a short version of my question below.
To try and keep this as short and sweet as possible-
I’m trying to decide how worried I need to be about the risks of chicken poop in my yard?
The longer question is- I understand the basics: wash your hands, keep chicken stuff (and the chickens) outside, have chicken boots, etc.
But we reeeally love being outside and so does our playful dog. If I let the chickens have access to the whole yard, wouldn’t that pose risk of disease to us humands and/or the pup?
Partitioning the yard is an option, I had just kinda been hoping that for the chickens sake, and my yards sake, that they could forage the whole yard.
