CHOOKS named Lady Fluffbottom, Chickadee, Henny Penny and Bella are bringing joy to residents at a Thornlands' residential aged care community.
Bolton Clarke's Moreton Shores diversional therapist Bec McLeod said the chickens loved pats and cuddles.
"(They) are assisting as pet therapy, providing residents with increased sensory activity," she said.
Ms McLeod said the silkies - Lady Fluffbottom and Bella - were particularly friendly.
"Now they have settled in to our community, all of the chickens jump on to laps and walkers of the residents, looking for treats," she said.
"Residents are hand feeding the chickens, who have really taken to our environment.
"Many had chooks when they were younger so having the coop offers a chance for a trip down memory lane and creates some nostalgia for them."
The names of the chickens were chosen at a residents' meeting.
