Ok, I’ve got it. O kissing chickens..
Liza Minnelli’s sister, Sally Minnelli.
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.
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.
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!
“The District of Columbia was also spared.”
That’s because the only ‘eggs’ Our Betters eat in DC are caviar!
Who the hell “kisses or snuggles” chickens and ducklings?
They may be disease carriers, but they sure are smart when it comes to beating me at tic-tac-toe.
Fed.gov wants Americans reliant on a few extremely large, corporate suppliers for everything, who they can also control
This is chickensh!t.
Really? 200 people sick from Salmonella this YEAR!?!??
And it’s all due to backyard chickens?
One must ask, why does the government want to take my chickens?
Free range food gets black eye who knew.
I grew up on kind of a 40 acre “hobby farm”. We had mostly cows, horses, pigs, chickens, geese, along with an occasional donkey, and various other “farm animals”. We never got sick from any of them that I am aware of.
Maybe THEY thought they had figured out how to make chicken salad out of chicken $hiite?
Been an age old theory -
who says illegals add nothing to the ‘culture’ /s
This is pretty common sense stuff folks. We have a backyard flock of four hens. I wear gloves when handling them and while cleaning their coop. I love my chooks but don’t kiss or hug them. And always wash hands after.
If you’re going to keep your chickens as healthy pets, you might consider de-worming them occasionally. Also avoid feeding them meat scraps.
My first pet, at age 3, was a Rhode Island red hen named “Pet” (duh). Mama only let me play with the chickens because she thought I played too rough for a dog or cat. Nope, no dog or cat until I was older and could handle the responsibility.
Now chickens are fast as greased lightning and it was fun catching and tossing them down the hole in the outhouse. On a good day, I could catch several.
Of course Mama did not approve and I got my pants busted. As I sat broken hearted and crying, one of the chickens walked up and I began to pet her. Thus began a relationship that was to last until Mama sold the flock.
I still remember Mama pulling the chickens out of the outhouse and hosing them down with the water hose. I still remember running through the chicken yard bare footed. I still remember ol’ “Pet” after 70 years and wonder whatever happened to her.
And I still remember Grandma’s homemade lye soap (and the color and fragrance of bacon grease) when it came time to wash your face and hands or bathe. It killed every organism known to man back then.
Yep, mankind has come a long way since those times.
