My mom just got some chickens and baby chicks a few weeks ago and she has been sick as a dog. She has been lethargic, she has nausea, she's been throwing up, and has diarrhea. Anytime she feels the slightest bit better she'll get up and do something but then its boom right back in bed throwing up again. This has been going on for about a week or so. I'm wondering if she could have picked up something from the chickens or baby chicks.
yes,u can get worms inside u
Salmonella, bird flu.
She should go to a doctor as soon as she can.

Salmonellae is a concern if she didn't wash her hands after handling them. Psittacosis is your only other even somewhat realistic concern, but it's still a stretch. Make sure she doesn't get dehydrated and go to you doctor if it continues.
She probably just has the flu (regular flu).

She may be allergic. You can contract illnesses from chickens, I would suggest going to the doctor. She could have anything from salmonella to coccidiosis. To me her symptoms sound like the latter. Go to a doctor, it can get serious.
no baby chicks dont carry diseases
i raise baby chickens and sell them
its very likely that she may have gotten something from the chickens and definitely from their droppings ... what are bird flu symptoms?
