Greene County has recently seen three confirmed cases of salmonella that are likely related to the purchase of chickens from local vendors. The vendors followed all applicable laws and took necessary precautions against the disease on their premises. However, these cases serve as a reminder for consumers to be aware of the potential risk for illness whenever they deal with chickens.
More local residents may be interested in keeping chickens at home. Some are doing it to be more sustainable, or produce their own food.
