I have been on the search for a peahen friend for Bill since last fall.\u00a0 I’m specifically looking for a hen of 2-4 years of age, but I’m not particular about the coloring.\u00a0 I have yet to find one available in our immediate area; I’ve got my eye on one that’s about 1.5 hours away.\u00a0 Just need another reason to travel to that area, and I’d gladly buy her!\u00a0 In the meantime though, I did find someone locally who had two peachicks for sale.\u00a0 While it will be a long time before they’re big enough to get out in the yard, at least he’ll have some friends.\u00a0 I wonder how long before I’ll be able to tell if they’re male(s) or female(s)?<\/p>\n
We’ve been doing some blackberry picking around the pastures, which is pretty awesome!\u00a0 Rob used to have to go out and pick next to roads and highways, but we have many mature blackberry canes growing on the fence rows.\u00a0 They’re thorny as can be, but the fruit is juicy and sweet!\u00a0 Made the first of hopefully many batches of jelly yesterday:<\/p>\n![\"IMG_7173\"](\"http:\/\/halfastfarm.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2015\/06\/IMG_7173.jpg\")
