Yesterday nosotros cleaned our chicken coop. It has been two weeks, but I didn't think it was in that bad of shape. Today my hubby and both sons (24 yrs & xvi yrs) are feeling sick. Their stomachs hurt, their bodies are sore and achy, their heads are congested and throats hurt. I have congestion and sore throat merely I actually retrieve it's my allergies and thankfully practise not have the rest of their symptoms. Do y'all think it's a coincidence? or maybe they caught something?

Coincidence. There are just a handful of poultry diseases that are zoonotic and the odds that your hubby and sons contracted one at the aforementioned time are slim to none. Ingesting feces would exist an exception.

My trunk is always sore and achy after coop cleaning. Shoveling muddied bedding is difficult...that stuff is heavy! Seriously though, unless your chickens are seriously over crowded 2 weeks isn't bad.

They probably defenseless a cold/flu from somewhere else. Balance easy....the concluding known manual of Avian flu to a human was in 2004 in Canada...2003 in U.s.a..

Were they wearing gloves and grit masks..... Did they "clean up" after cleaning the coop and run.... modify apparel shoes etc... Was the coop and run dusty... In other words, did they have all the necessary condom precautions....

cleaning the coop is hard work... and it is dusty. I practice try and wear a face mask not for fear of diseases but simply because I don't desire to be breathing in all the grit that is generated when I clean the coop (I have asthma and allergies) I am not proficient virtually wearing gloves only I probably should.

I doubtfulness that they defenseless some kind of affliction. like the others mentioned there isnt much that gets passed from chickens to people but I would take precautions from breathing in the dust.
