I'm a new member, I have 87 chickens (77 are chicks and pullets). I use my chickens for animal therapy to help relieve my anxiety and depression. I have many different breeds and am wanting more! I am interested in the blue colored breeds like Blue Wyandottes, Blue Leghorns, etc. I have been blessed to only loose two chicks so far, a Cornish White and a White Silkie Bantam. Since I have over 100 acres, between my family, to raise my chickens; they are all free range.

Hello and Welcome To BYC! Blue is one of my favorite chicken colors also! You might like to post on / check out your state thread for your neighbors, and maybe someone would have some birds you are interested in locally. https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/37675/arkansas-folks-speak-up A lot of the breeds have color specific threads if you want to do a search on some breeds you are interested in ie here is the Blue Laced Red Wyandotte thread, https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/466415/blue-laced-red-wyandotte-thread and the Blue Andalusian thread https://www.backyardchickens.com/t/290822/blue-andalusian-thread And don't forget the BYC Learning Center, lots of good articles on chicken keeping https://www.backyardchickens.com/atype/1/Learning_Center

I too suffer from anxiety and depression. Chickens are the best medicine and no bad side effects

Happy therapy

ALOT of great information AND its therapeutic to share this. It keeps your mind exploding with thoughts and information about chickens. Wow, if it weren't for our sponsors....this wouldn't exist!!!! Niftychicken has his hands in many things. He is great also. Kind of like our compass...gives us a sense of direction.
