Hello! I am recently new to chickens but have quickly fallen in love with taking care of them! I currently have 10 chickens of different breeds. Rhode Island Reds, Buff Orpington, Polish, Red/Blue Wyandotte, Spitzenhauben, Blue Rocks.

I have suffered a lot from depression in the past, and my counselor suggested I get a hobby. Chickens have become a joy for me. I'm excited to be a part of this forum to learn more!

Welcome to the group. I'm new at this as well and my birds are part of my routine now. I love hanging out in the coop and the yard with them. Great stress relevées

I heard somewhere that hens (and pullets) can be trained as therapy pets or something. Has anyone else heard this?

I have a friend who has a super cuddly hen that she calls her therapy chicken. When her friends (old and new) come over they cuddle this chicken and they say it makes them happy. Who can argue?
