Keeping Backyard Poultry Recommend on Facebook Tweet Share Chickens in grassLive poultry, such as chickens, ducks, geese, and turkeys, often carry harmful germs called Salmonella. After you touch a bird, or anything in the area where they live and roam, wash your hands so you don't get sick! An increasing number of people around the country are choosing to keep live poultry, such as chickens or ducks, as part of a greener, healthier lifestyle. While you enjoy the benefits of backyard chickens and other poultry, it is important to consider the risk of illness, especially for children, which can result from handling live poultry or anything in the area where they live and roam. What is the risk of getting Salmonella from live poultry? It's common for chickens, ducks, and other poultry to carry Salmonella. Salmonella is a type of germ that naturally lives in the intestines of poultry and many other animals. Even organically fed poultry can have Salmonella. While it usually doesn't make the birds sick, Salmonella can cause serious illness when it is passed to people. Check out the questions and answers below for more information on Salmonella infection and how to prevent getting germs from live poultry.

I'm always surprised and delighted when I hear the faint clucking of chickens behind walls in town in Santa Fe. NM is an agrarian state. Let's take good care of our chickens and share eggs and be thoughtful with our Eldorado neighbors. Eldorado, Santa Fe, NM

Increasing numbers of cities. towns and subdivisions allow chickens. This website alone has over 100 pages listing locations all over the US. http://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/3/Laws/sort/new/page/10/ Eldorado is one of the most appropriate places to allow this, given its large lots.

What this petition says in plain English is that the Court has ruled, so until some actual problem can be documented, the community can take a break from even thinking about chickens.
