Is my job promoting coccidia in my backyard?

I cut down trees for a living. I'm in multiple properties a day and some days I get completely filthy with dirt and stump grindings. So my question is am I bringing different strains of coccidia onto my property every time I come home? And we'll me tending to my chicks without being clean hurt them at all? The chicks should have great beneficial bacteria I feed them water Kefir and yogurt in their ration.

They should be fine I don't think you'll be harming them at all I think you may actually help them by strengthening their immune system

Coccidiosis is only a problem when the parasite numbers multiply due to wet, dirty conditions, exposing the chicks to more than their bodies can handle. Keep them dry and tidy and they'll do great.
