Ping!.....................

[Mercat]

Ok, I’ve got it. O kissing chickens..

Willing to bet this is from illegals who have no clue about sanitation. I’ve had the misfortune to stop in a Quick Trip for a bathroom pit stop. Even if you’ve never seen a toilet, how hard can it be to figure it out? And that roll of paper, and that hand washing contraption.

Not ready to blame the chickens.

[Red Badger]

People been raising chickens for thousands of years with no problems.........

[Fhios]

The sewers are so bad in Mexico one doesn’t dare put any paper down the toilet. They just wipe their arse and toss it in the garbage. If no garbage they just toss it on the floor.

It can get pretty sick around South San Diego if not Tijuana itself.

[Wuli]

Gee, I wonder who many of these people (%) are that are keeping backyard flocks of chickens.

Well I do know that all across San Bernardino, California, home to tons of illegal immigrants, you can often expect to be awakened by a rooster. Oh, I better be careful, Google will see this and label me a racist. I better strikeout Google or my chances of Google taking note will be greater. Oh, to hell with them.

Live poultry in backyard flocks are linked to several multistate outbreaks of salmonella infections that have now sickened 212 people in 44 states, federal health officials warned Monday.

Out of how many millions who have poultry in their backyards? Wash your freakin' hands people.

I’m almost 72 years old, and have had backyard chickens most of my life. No sickness from it at all. but then I do COOK MY FOOD!

[Diana in Wisconsin]

I’m currently chicken-less. :( Last year Beau built me a greenhouse, this upcoming spring, it’ll be a chicken coop. We have a barn, but it’s not secure enough for the hens at night.

I used to raise 50 layers at a time; sold eggs to one of the chi-chi liquor store/delis in town. I got $2.50 a dozen for them. He then sold them for $4...and people begged for more!

Quite the racket!

Federal law prohibits confirming your assertion.

“It can get pretty sick around South San Diego if not Tijuana itself.”

I lived in Imperial Beach, CA from 1980-’82, two minutes from Tijuana. I can testify!

[Red Badger]

And wash the eggs..................

[Diana in Wisconsin]

“The District of Columbia was also spared.”

That’s because the only ‘eggs’ Our Betters eat in DC are caviar!

[Mr. K]

No choking them either.

[Red Badger]

Around here, the illegals usually have chickens in their yard. That is illegal in this county, to have farm animals in residential areas.

But they don’t care................

[Gamecock]

That's why free range chickens are the best.

[healy61]

We wash our hands after contact with the chickens. That said, I can’t imagine our small flock in a run open to the sun and air has more problems than 100,000 chickens in a closed building standing wing to wing. Ain’t buying it.
