Thank you. And I guess I answered my own question! I searched online and found Wisconsin's Health Dept and they have a fair amount of info on this. Apparently, goats were found to be infected in Minnesota after some kids died. They had shared space with infected birds. I have goats, too. I don't milk them anymore and they're not near my hens, though wild birds nest in the barn.
They said on the website to be very cautious around "droppings". We have a lot of that! So, masks, gloves, hand washing...and now I wonder about using it on the garden. And I wonder if we shall even have a National Health Department or State for the next 4 years. Seriously.
Thank you again.
