Grandsons held our new baby chicks a few hours after getting them settled in their brooder at home, following the CDC baby poultry safe handling instructions.
DO:
*Wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water right after touching live poultry or anything in the area where they live and roam.
*Adults should supervise hand washing for young children.
*If soap and water are not readily available, use hand sanitizer until you are able to wash your hands thoroughly with soap and water.
DON’T:
*Don’t let children younger than 5 years of age, elderly persons, or people with weak immune systems handle or touch chicks, ducklings, or other live poultry.
*Don’t let live poultry inside the house, in bathrooms, or especially in areas where food or drink is prepared, served, or stored, such as kitchens, or outdoor patios.
*Don’t snuggle or kiss the birds, touch your mouth, or eat or drink around live poultry.
