I’m tired of politics; I’m going to throw caution to the wind and go find a chicken to hug! :)

the agency would recommend NOT kissing or cuddling your backyard chickens.

That's the best advice I've received all year..........

Something is different. I don’t recall these problems with the chickens running around my grandfathers barnyard long long ago.

Why the heck would I hug a chicken? They are nasty, mean little beasts who's only saving grace is they produce eggs and taste wonderful when fried.

Now the calves and piglets, it takes an effort not to get attached to them.

Heck, I' in trouble. Have considered writing a book "How to keep chickens out of your kitchen".

I have one chicken that lays eggs in my bathtub. Many times I think a chicken is missing, only to find her in the attic. My chickens are TOO domesticated. Maybe if I lined their coop with satin sheets, they'd stay out of my house.

I don't see why anyone would kiss a chicken. Those beaks can poke an eye out.

Hugging a chicken? Nothing soft and cuddly about feathers.

Chickens are the first pets some children have as their very own pet. They learn how to feed and not fear the birds. Stay away from the Rooster, when he gets mad. They have those sharp spurs.

I wear gloves when cleaning the coop which I basically do everyday. Also I handle the chooks with gloves most of the time and wash hands after. And yes all our chickens have names. :-)

I’ll hug my ducks until they pry them out of my cold dead hands.

What a weird, naive headline. It's almost as bad as Marilyn Quayle's book entitled Embrace The Serpent.

Do not choke your chicken.

Am I on the right thread?

“And, while the CDC page doesn’t mention it specifically, I think it’s safe to say the agency would recommend NOT kissing or cuddling your backyard chickens. ”

They're cute before they grow up.
