Got pics, anyone been allergic to chicks?

These are our first chicks 4 australorps, 4 slws and 1 blue slikie. We never thought having chicks would be such an amazing feeling! We already want more. My wife is awfully allergic to the silkie chick. She got hives from handling her! Has anyone experienced this. Did it pass as the silkie grew?

I dont know if it will pass as the silkes grows but you wife may be able to build her immune system to tolerate the chicken

I hope so because this is her chick. When I ordered she asked for a silkie.

Use an OTC anti-histamine like benadryl or reactine I perfer the liquid i find they work better... take the meds 20 min before being near the chickens and see what happens...slowly lower the dosage until she can tolerate it
