Can I get my chicken sick if I have a cold?

[matimeo]

People have been posting about chickens being sick with respiratory infections. Got me wondering (since I and half of my kids are sick) if I can spread a virus like a cold to my chickens by handling them when I'm contagious. Just curious if I should be careful or not.

No problems matimeo, it won't cross over. Hope you and your kids get well soon.

I have wondered this myself!
