  2. There are lots diseases transmissible from animals to humans, but most people don’t get ill unless they are immunologically impaired. The most common chicken-transmitted disease is Salmonella, usually when people handle chickens and then don’t wash their hands properly afterwards–but even that doesn’t happen too often. So, unless you’re immunologically impaired (cancer patient, HIV+, very elderly, child under 2 years old, have a serious infection, etc. ) then you will probably be just fine.

  3. The top of the roof should be covered with a tarp or plastic, to prevent bird crap from falling into the chicken coop. Chickens can get any disease from wild birds, less chickens became sick this year because of the tarp on the roof.
