Woman shares chickens as therapy animals

Therapy dogs are a comfort for people recovering from health disorders or facing other hurdles in their lives. How about therapy chickens?

A Polson woman has decided that white leghorn rooster Alex and Cornish game hen Carlita are too good to keep to herself.



This week, Jana Clairmont and a friend took the pair to visit residents at Polson Health and Rehabilitation Center. Clairmont said she got the chickens for her grandchildren, “but they’re so good with people, I thought, ‘Why not turn this into a positive?”‘

She calls her therapy birds “Fowl Play.”
