Can chickens get COVID 19 from humans?

[exactlyzac]

I know scientists can't say for sure yet, but has anyone out there hung out with their chickens while infected with Coronavirus??

If so, how did the chickens do afterwords?

I'm out there with a mask and gloves every day just to be safe, but wanted to know what y'all are up to.

No. There is evidence that humans can infect chickens.

I read somewhere that the virus came from bats. I might be wrong.

Exactly, we don't have a base of scientific evidence strong enough to know the answer to this question yet, so I'm on here looking for anecdotes

Research: Cats can get coronavirus, dogs hardly, chickens don't.

Cats and ferrets can become infected with the coronavirus, but dogs barely and chickens, pigs and ducks at all. According to news agency Reuters, this is evident from a study published in China in January and February, published in the scientific journal Science.

Epidemiologist Maria van Kerkhove of World Health Organization WHO said at a press conference on Wednesday that pets do not appear to play a role in the spread of the virus, but that they can be infected by people who are infected.
