Do any of you know someone who is missing a peahen? One showed up in my yard and I'd like to find her owner if I can.
Thank You!

I haven't' been on for a while, life is too chaotic. Even today we are trying to fix an electrical problem that left us without power in several rooms yesterday. However I wanted to share about the strange bird we found. Two weeks ago, we noticed a strange bird on a neighbors second story patio and watched it for a while. The neighbor then came out and shooed it away. It then flew into our street and into the wheel well of a car. We rescued it out and took it out with our hens to check it out... It never left even though our hens free range most of the day. Today was the first day it even ventured to the garden...
After some research I believe it is Harold brown hen, never seen anything like it and I have seen many breeds and variations of chickens. My son calls her Carl. Very friendly, eats from my hand.
Hey y'all just moved to the Show Low area. Anyone else from the white mountains?
Yay, we FINALLY got our first egg since all the girls started molting in Novemberish. The rest are starting to show enlarged, bright combs, too. We may be getting back on track shortly. It's been hard having to buy the vegetarian store bought crap that doesn't cook right!
On a bad note, our broad breasted turkey keeled over last week. She was overdue for slaughter, but seemed so healthy that I waited. My freezer was rather full and shd wouldn't fit. I guess heart gave out anyway. No pests or anything on her. She just became very lethargic at roosting time and was dead by morning. Another GREAT reason to buy heritage....
TRACTOR SUPPLY IN PV also has chicksIn the Prescott area Cal Ranch has chicks right now and then Olsen's grain, both in Prescott and Chino Valley, will get chicks in at the end of March. Cal Ranch seems to be the only place right now that has chicks. I just purchased some buff orpingtons and black sex link chicks.
