Mt Healthy Hatchery Salmonella

[suzychick]

Has anyone ordered chicks from Mt Healthy Hatchery? I have 11 that I got mid April and the hatchery has now been linked to a salmonella outbreak. I planned to use my chickens for eggs. Will my eggs be safe?

I have 24 right now from them. I had meat birds last year from them. I never got sick and I'm still alive so you should be fine. Just wash your hands after you handle the birds.

I've gotten chickens there for years. Always just been smart about being clean and washing my hands. I don't keep them in my living room, bedroom or kitchen. Also don't kiss Or cuddle them close to your face.

Also your eggs should be fine.

Don't cuddle any chick close to you face or just the hatchery ones?
