GRRR... Can you believe our neighbor has acquired two more pea hens (thinking without the male everything would be alright)! It just doesn't make any sense. She lets them roam free, too. The rest of us are not so happy about it. So the peacock saga continues and now trails all the way to TN. :-)<br /><a href="http://www.hoeandshovel.blogspot.com" rel="nofollow">Meems @ Hoe and Shovel</a>Meemshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/16341998120938921741noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-57153115440835596722009-11-27T08:19:35.819-06:002009-11-27T08:19:35.819-06:00Hi Gail...here's a link to some peahen picture...Hi Gail...here's a link to some peahen pictures from Austin... <br /><br />http://www.flickr.com/photos/momwizard/sets/72157619696228310/<br /><br />xxoo LynnLynn Nillhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/02889149260448218282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-68159657850633770632009-11-26T14:30:26.469-06:002009-11-26T14:30:26.469-06:00Yours is the first one I've ever seen.

A few miles from here they breed peacocks and hens and sell them - in pairs I think - but they are so noisy! A nice romantic idea, but for the racket. Plus, like you, I'd worry about the coyotes. The only surprising critter we get is an escaped beagle who dashes in through the dog door and scarfs up all the kibble in the dog dish!Country Mousehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/13294472166693008328noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3093185160483906357.post-16533661529614747502009-11-23T19:08:28.157-06:002009-11-23T19:08:28.157-06:00Well Gail it is great you went back in to get your...Well Gail it is great you went back in to get your camera!
