THE BABY BIRDS, OFTEN GIVEN AS GIFTS AT EASTER, CAN CARRY SALMONELLA-AND SICKEN DOZENS OF CHILDREN EVERY YEAR. IN 2011 68 PEOPLE IN 20 STATES GOT SALMONELLA FROM BABY CHICKS AND DUCKLINGS. ALMOST 1/3 WERE UNDER AGE 6. SALMONELLA CAN CAUSE DIARRHEA, ABDOMINAL CRAMPS AND FEVER. BEFORE BUYING CHICKS, FIND OUT IF THEY HAVE BEEN TESTED FOR SALMONELLA. WASH HANDS AFTER HANDLING THE BIRDS.
