Backyard Chickens
webcentivewebcentive - home
Backyard chickens, with health first. Check your town's rules before buying chicks: many allow a few hens but no roosters, and some need a permit. Chickens can carry Salmonella even when they look healthy, so wash your hands after touching birds or eggs, keep them out of the kitchen, and don't kiss or snuggle them. Bird flu (HPAI) has hit backyard flocks: keep wild birds away, follow USDA's Defend the Flock steps, and report sick or dying birds to your state veterinarian or USDA (1-866-536-7593). Hatcheries and stores below are commercial.
