    Checking-In On Peeps - Post Here To Say Hello!

    Hi! Husband and I are still here, keeping our tiny flock. Recently lost our oldest, 7-yo RIR, Blazer, pictured here with her friend. She was a legend and is sorely missed.

    I'm in Southern Oregon, Josephine County, and I'm currently looking for local-raised Rhode Island reds. Anyone raising these nearby?

    Hello from longtime lurker :)
