Just wanted some advice about puppy's and hens (or chickens).
Billy is 11 weeks old and we asked at his first vets appointment if we should keep him out of my parents garden before his second jabs as they have a couple of chickens ( they live in a coup but are allowed out occasionally to roam the garden).
The vet said even after second jabs he wouldnt let him out where chickens have been as they carry all sorts of germs not covered by puppy jabs.
Does this seem over cautious or does anyone think he should be kept away from my parents garden while they have the chickens?
