chickens & goats

[Rene Siracusa]

About a year ago I asked the UH-Ag people (CTAHR)if, when my ducks eat slugs, rat-lung disease could be transferred to the meat or the eggs. They said the question hadn't come up, but they would check on it. Several weeks later I got a call that neither meat nor eggs would carry the disease. I was given a long complex scientific reason, which I no longer remember. So with chickens it's probably the same as with ducks.
