We have chickens & ducks in backyard. They live in their mobile coop& fenced run during daycare hours (although they do “escape” occasionally.

Licensing had no issues for years. New rep came & freaked out. By the time her, supervisor, & public health got done talking they came up with a “plan”. Birds stay in pen during daycare hours, no unsupervised contact with kids, and clean up any areas they make a mess on. You know- what I had been doing for years before.
