 While it's important to care for and love   your newly adopted chick or duckling, you must also protect yourself. Salmonella, a common cause of food borne illness, can also be spread by direct contact with animals that carry the bacteria.

Some safe handling tips:

• Avoid contact with poultry manure. Adults should clean cages frequently.

• Carefully and thoroughly wash hands with soap and water after handling anything in the chick's or duckling's environment.

• Do not nuzzle or kiss you chick or duckling.

• Keep poultry outside, and especially out of areas where food is prepared

• Supervise children when handling poultry, and ensure they wash their hands after contact. Children under 5 years old and people with weakened immune systems should not handle poultry.
