Hey! City of DeBary, Florida...Don't touch J.J Hart's ducks! The "ducks" in question are actually chickens that J.J's family purchased to help supply his diet with fresh eggs. Over time, a wonderful thing happened. J.J developed a connection with the chickens and now affectionately calls them his "ducks". You see, two-year old J.J has autism spectrum disorder; a complex disorder of the brain that causes a some children to have difficulty with communication, behavior and social interaction. The chickens are therapeutic for J.J and are helping him overcome some of his autistic traits including some of his communication hurdles.
