I went out one morning to do chores and heard a whole lot of peeping going on. LOUD peeping. I tracked it down to the chicken pen. More precisely, to the wire between the chicken pen and front, and the peafowl pen in back.
A little peachick managed to get inbetween layers of chicken wire and crawl upwards - I presume in a misguided effort to get back out.
Lady, quit taking pictures and HELP ME!!!
Once I rescued the little guy (gal?) from its' predicament and put it back in the pen with Mama Peahen, I was NOT welcome. She was disturbed and pacing back and forth, and WILL YOU PLEASE LEAVE!?!
Hey, I can take a hint! I got my camera and myself out of there and left them in peace.

What a silly chick! Now that I’ve had birds of my own for a while I fully understand the term “bird brain”. Mama hen looks very pretty. I love her jeweled hair pin!
These chicks can get in the craziest predicaments! I think that poor mama peahen is going have gray feathers.
Poor baby! I’m glad you were able to rescue it before it became a snack for some marauding critter.
Me too! This is the first year one of the peahens has sat and actually hatched out a couple of chicks. I’d hate to lose one!
