Germ free poultry handling

I got a call the other day from the Department of Agriculture. They asked me if I would hand out some information for them. They created a flyer of disease prevention tips. Since I'm registered as a poultry farm, they asked if I would post one on my wall and hand them out to customers. I thought I'd post one here too, just so everyone gets a chance to read it.

I know a lot of us know most of these things anyway, but it never hurts to be reminded. The only ones I ever have an issue with is the last two. The rest I do regularly. (I have hand sanitizer everywhere! lol)

Now excuse me while I go tell Sally that when I'm eating on the patio, she is not supposed to try to take a bite out of my food!
