Hi,
I’m new to chickens. I have 8 that are 12 weeks old. They free range usually 4-6 hours a day right now. I have two children (7 & 9) who help out with them, however I’m the only one who cleans the coop and cleans their water out. The kids do like to hold them, but I make sure they wash their hands with soap every time they touch the chickens. I’m still worried about Salmonella and I was wondering how common it is?
