Practice Hand Hygiene

What happens here

Before handling the baby chicks, it is crucial to prioritize hygiene to prevent the spread of diseases. Use hand sanitizer, such as Germ-X moisturizing original hand sanitizer, or, ideally, wash hands thoroughly with soap and water before and after handling the chicks. This precaution is important as chicks can carry Salmonella and other pathogens, and direct contact should be followed by proper sanitation.

Goal: Ensure hands are clean before and after handling chicks
