I gave my daughter some scrambled cheese eggs this morning, and she said it tasted funny. An hour later she threw it all up. I noticed that the cheese was wet, and I'm now thinking it was contaminated. Unfortunately, I had already fed the rest of the bag to the chickens by the time my daughter felt sick. Do you think my chickens are in danger? I know listeria is common in deli cheese. (I don't think it was the egg, because it had only been laid the day before).

Daughter is feeling much better, by the way. :)

My limited experience with food poisoning is most people don't get sick until 2-4 hours after eating contaminated food. But still, it might have been food poisoning nonetheless. Regardless, cheese isn't all that great for chickens anyways because of the high salt content. Chickens can't process out salt nearly as well as we humans can. No damage in the short term, but not a good habit to make of it.
