This image depicts a single male rooster inside his coop, as he was perched high above the rest of the flock below (see PHIL 14238, 14239, 14240), which were being raised for their eggs in a privately-owned backyard pen. Eggs from these chickens were collected each morning to be used as food by their owners.

An increasing number of people around the country are choosing to keep live poultry, such as chickens or ducks, as part of a greener, healthier lifestyle. While you enjoy the benefits of backyard chickens and other poultry, it is important to consider the risk of illness, especially for children, which can result from handling live poultry or anything in the area where they live and roam.
