Hi there! I've been casually researching chickens for a couple of years now. I've known that I'm getting some good egg layers, White Austra's or Easter Eggers..There a ton more I love, too; As well as have one or two Silkie's. Just waiting on a house to magically say 'get me get me'
I recently met a friend that has chickens and a rooster, her rooster being a therapy animal for her daughter. I've always been interested in this and of course, go 'what if'. Even if my Silkie couldn't be a therapy animal, I'd be interested in just having one as a pet.
I've never known anyone that has chickens, aside from maybe family that I'm not in contact with.
Anywho, I'm going to spend a few months researching and hoping to acquire my first Bantam Silkie in the fall.
However we also live in an apartment so it'll be interesting to say the least.

and Welcome To BYC! Sounds like another house chicken in the making! There are several threads on harness training chickens if you want to do a search,
