She's Still Hanging around...lookin for a handout.

This bird seems to have made a home here, been hanging out since last summer.

She's welcome, and for being tame I give her credit for her skills, evading the predators from above and below...

She needs a bird House.

She needs a bird House.

She's been in the coop once or twice, but chickens have a hellacious pecking order, it's not pretty.

Hey D, how cool is that to have a pheasant hanging out with your girls. I agree, a tough winter for the wildlife. It will be interesting to see what she does come spring.

We lost one of our chickens to a Cooper's Hawk this winter. Not sure if she might have been ill, since she probably outweighed the hawk.

Thanks for posting!

Yes she's well fed lol. She has a lean-to behind the coop and is very wary of predators, but comes running for feed.

 

[squiggy]

That's great..very nice of you to help her..

Very cool! We seen 3 hen pheasants cross the road on the way to church this morning. Was happy to see them. Hardly ever see males anymore, but hens are a rare sight.
