Salmonella poisoning..... Help

[kathleenf62]

We have just started raising chickens the first of May. Everything has been going fine until a couple of weeks ago. My husband got very sick, had the worst case of diarrhea I've ever seen. I took him to the ER and found out he has salmonella positing. My question is, how do we find out if any of our chicks are sick? We know that he had to have got it from them. We've been washing our hands after handling them but must have failed. I'm scared......what do I do?

Your husband may have gotten it elsewhere - does he work away from home? Maybe he ate out at some restaurant ? Have you or anyone else in the home had the some symptoms?
