Nope, not unless you are a chicken too. Sometimes the pox can make them feel a little less perky too and now at least they should build an immunity to it and not have it again.Thank you VERY much for the info I am keeping a very close eye on them and reading n' learning all I can. This is my very first year keeping fowls. I wanted a goat but decided I have my hands full They seem less lathargic this morning, but it's still early. Is it possible to get sick from them? After handeling them yesterday I am super sick today. Can I get a bird flu, or sinus infect from them?
