Lost chicken in neighborhood.

[Weeg]

That doesn't look like any peasant I've ever seen. Pretty sure they look like this:

Thank you! Stupid autocorrect! Hahahaha!

Hi all! Anyone know what breed this is? I’m helping the finder locate the owner in our neighborhood. Thanks!

It's a juvenile male Lady Amherst x Red Golden cross.

This is a mature one!

Same bird as above but as a juvenile and still molting into adult plumage.

Wow!! That's super neat!! I don't think I've ever heard of someone finding an escaped pet pheasant

My spouse once found an escaped hamster in our backyard with one red eye and one black eye. He named her Lisa Left Eye Lopez. She was an escape artist and unfortunately met her end 2 years later due to that tendency...:/

Oh! And when I was a kid, a peahen once flew into my family's cattle pasture and hungout by the chicken run for a couple of weeks. We couldn't catch her, so she eventually decided to either go back where she came from or continue her adventure elsewhere. I also remember seeing an emu trotting along the road while I was riding the school bus one morning before they dashed off into a field. Rural areas can be interesting, haha.

Wow! You certainly seem to attract wayward animals. I once had three guineas pass through my yard but that was it

I mean this was years ago, when I lived in the middle of nowhere at the end of a road. We saw longs of random animals, a lot from people dumping them unfortunately. I remember one incident where a random hog showed up and dug up all our flower bulbs in the front yard...they weren't mean though and we were able to find their owner.
