Eastern Shore Chicken Mom

:welcome:welcome:welcome

Welcome to BackYard Chickens! I'm Autistic and my chickens are my therapy. I've learned a lot from them (including how to read, and they've given me a better understanding of people) and they're great emotional support animals when I need something to hug (or just plain cheer me up). Having a special bird around like your bantam rooster is always a good thing, even if he's only helping you.
I have heard of people bringing Silkies into nursing homes, so perhaps that's a thing for you? Also, with some of my chickens, I've brought them to public places and events so people (kids and adults alike) can pet one for what might be the first time, and possibly overcome their fear of birds somewhat by being able to pet a super friendly one.
