We brought our three hens home two days ago and set them up in a new coop/run. My whole family has been in and out of the coop feeding and handling the hens. This morning my daughter and my husband are sick with flu like symptoms. I did make sure to wash both of my kids hands after being in and out of the run and also had them change from "chicken" shoes into other shoes. Does this sound like a coincidence or should I be concerned that my hens have passed something such as salmonella to my family??
