How exciting that you're moving to a place where you can have chickens! Not familiar with Geelong area, is this in the US somewhere? (Sounds like Australia actually) How old is your girlie? I am raising a grandson on the spectrum and the best thing I ever did for him was get him a dog. I'm sure having chickens to care for will be equally helpful for your precious girl child! I can't answer your question, I'm sorry to say, but I wish you all the luck and hope you will stay in touch with us!
Yeah, we're in Australia, is there an Australian forum on this somewhere??Hi Adam, welcome to the Chicken capital of the internet!

Thank you, my little girl will be 3 in a couple of weeks, she is very excitable when it comes to dogs, so her occupational therapist has suggested maybe some other animal, and seeing as our new house has a very large ans sheltered avery, which we can easily make alterations to, thought a few chickens would be the go..Hi Adam, welcome to the Chicken capital of the internet!
