Official Squatch Watchers

I don't worry about salmonella, if it was an issue, we would have had it multiple times by now. With all of the salmonella carrying species we have, one would think it would be problematic. Apparently it isn't as prominent as the CDC says, but they put it these alerts anyhow. Think about how many people have salmonella carrying pets, and I'll bet less than 5% ever get it.

It mostly come from eating contaminated food. From chickens it is a very small percentage of cases.

Yuck do you know what it is contaminated with

Salmonella--usually from a sick person or eating an infected under cooked chicken--from a Store or in a restaurant. Not from touching chickens.

It is cases from touching chickens in the hundreds while there are more than a million cases of salmonella a year in the US

I think most of our chickens quality as "under cooked"
