A new state health rule that went into effect Jan. 14 forbids live poultry, including chickens and ducks, at licensed child care facilities. Health officials say it’s a common-sense effort to reduce the risk of salmonella.
Standing with state health officials in support of the rule package are a gaggle of health and early childhood organizations including Children’s Hospital Colorado, the Colorado Health Foundation, the Colorado Children’s Campaign, Livewell Colorado and Qualistar Colorado.
