Oh, this hits home because Jenny and I have friends that just bought a bunch of chickens.
The CDC had to recently put out a warning that tells people to stopping hugging and snuggling with their pet chickens. You’re not supposed to give them all the hugs and kisses like other pets because chickens will give you salmonella.
This is a big deal right now because there is a growing salmonella outbreak right now that has made 163 people sick across 43 states.
Part of the CDC message is that you shouldn’t eat or drink around chickens either. I’ll keep that in mind because we’re supposed to visit our chicken loving friends Saturday night and I’m guessing drinks and snacks will be served.
So, you hear that Marty, my chicken pet having friend. “Chickens” rhyme with “distance”. Tell your chickens to keep their distance.
