If im sick, can i get my flock sick?

[Annalyse]

Can chickens become sick from their owners?

Chicken are birds and people are mammals. So I can't imagine that there is any disease that can infect both. Parasites are a different story though, and can infect both species.

Avian influenza, not good in either species. Is England having a problem right now? Haven't really paid attention.
