They find ONE case in a million that gets sick from chickens, and it’s an, ‘epidemic.’
I’ve raised HUNDREDS of laying hens through the years with no problems at all.
Well, except for raccoon attacks, hawk attacks and one dog I had that LOVED to chomp chickens. ;)
Backyard chickens are a step toward self sufficiency.
The PTB do not want folks to become self sufficient.
This is a scare tactic.
