Willkenwright Posted July 20, 2020 Share Posted July 20, 2020 I've got 5 Silkie chicks that are 1 week old and I'm getting an eglu with run to house them. My question is. If I let them free range in my back garden would I then have to treat the entire area they free range in as potentially infected with salmonella? I only ask as I play with my 3 year old in the back garden and it wouldn't be possible to do so if I had to take such precautions. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
