Chickens rarely catch a cold like humans do, but they can certainly get the flu. Unfortunately, the kind of flu they get is often fatal-- the so-called "bird flu." This disease (more accurately called "avian influenza) cannot be treated with antibiotics, and there have been epidemics where numerous birds, including chickens, have died. Scientists have tried to find cures and treatments for bird flu, but many strains seem to be resistant to currently available medications. Ironically, when humans have colds or flu, one folk cure (in addition to taking cold or flu medications) is to eat chicken soup. (There is little if any danger of catching bird flu from chicken soup-- thoroughly cooking the meat kills the virus.)
