Bird flu

With bird flu doing the rounds should we, especially my kids, stop handling our chickens?

I have a sick chicken and tbh I don’t think it’s flu - I think she’s just on her last legs. Brought her in the house to nurse her but concerned that’s a bit of a risk right now so taken her back out.

Whats the consensus?

I don’t know enough about how things like that cross species but since it’s already jumped to cattle I wouldn’t risk it personally. Just keep her warm and safe in a box outside
