It's OK To Dress Up Your Chickens For Halloween

Good news just in time for Halloween.  The Centers for Disease Control says its okay to dress up your chickens in costumes.  The agency issued a statement last week refuting circulating reports that it was unsafe to put clothes on a chicken.  Still, the CDC says it's important to practice some safety measures, like washing your hands after touching chickens, keeping them outside the house and avoiding kissing the birds.  Also, keep children younger than 5 away from the animals.
