Chicken therapy

[Mandied]

How do I go about getting my chickens cleared to be used for therapy. I have severe anxiety, panic attacks and ptsd from emotional, physical and sexual abuse from a biological mother and her husband. When I hold my chickens it helps me to calm down. My husband will even tell you I am alot calmer around them. I want to see about getting them as therapy animals. I live in Indiana.

Get one registered as a ESA, you can do it online I think.

Thank you, I love my chicks and I can go in when I can feel my anxiety getting real bad and they calm me down.

Then if it has a diaper and a esa harness you could take it with you places.

Mine are totally a big part of keeping mentally healthy. Do you need to get permission from a landlord or the city to keep them? Otherwise there’s no really a need to “register” them. If you’re looking into them being a service animal with public access, only dogs and miniature horses are protected under the ADA and must be task trained. Just holding them (as much as that’s truly helpful) isn’t legally covered
