Well anyways im starting the one and only hatchery in my town once i get the hang of incubation. So im not getting a job this summer, although im not going to make a lot on the hatchery i think itll be a great learning experience
 
I see.
But thats just like saying i cant have any kids and work at an adoption agency

I can see your point. But human disease and chicken diseases are very different. In the form you can see a sick child, but you can't see a sick chicken. Or a chicken that can wipe your whole flock out.

Yeah my thing didnt update so i didnt see Urs explanation before i posted that
 
Oh i see.
This is also a prime example of why you should always quarantine any new birds you plan to bring into your flock. This gives you time to notice if they show any symptoms of disease before there is cross-contamination, and to respond to it. Even when you do this and there are no symptoms, the new birds can still be contaminated and already passed the symptom stages. It's always a gamble, but you can take steps to minimize the risks. Take Coryza for example. Once contracted, birds that survive the symptoms are carriers for life, easily capable of infecting any other birds they come in contact with. You might have a single strand of this highly contagious virus from this bird on your body, and walking into a hatchery would put the entire facility at risk.

After thinking what u said, maybe vet school wouldnt be a bad idea for what u want to do. Then you would have the knowledge to do Anything you wanted to do concerning animals. Shelter, care etc.
