Clinton • Seven-year-old Skyrie Sacks has a backyard coop full of emotional support animals that — like their Pokémon namesakes — began their lives as a humble egg.
And, according to her mom, Skyrie is out there with her eight chickens on most days that aren’t freezing or snowing or pouring.
If she’s feeling sad, she can cuddle with Mew, a small eruption of white feathers. If she’s full of energy, she can chase Pikachu or Pidgey around their Clinton yard. If she’s feeling generous, she can feed Chansey (her favorite) a special treat: A palm-full of desiccated mealworms.
