Oregon salmonella case brings chick warning

Spring, Easter and chicks mean salmonella.

The season’s first baby chick-related salmonella case has been recorded in a Deschutes County, Oregon resident.

Health types say to keep chicks penned in out buildings or outside and always wash your hands after coming into contact with any area where chicks are kept, or the chicks themselves.

Be especially careful with chicks around kids; don’t keep chicks in childcare centers.
