Thanks for the comments, Fee and Tony. Anthony J Howe wrote: So they are going down to the city, shopping? Maybe to eat out? Funny to se this shot, nice one Joe, well done. We can't quite figure where they came from. Most of the residents had never seen pea hens before.  --Joe

I haven't done my homework, but I suppose these are guinea hens instead of pea hens. Sorry for the incorrect ID. I assume both species are domestic? --Joe

Pea hens are the females and pea cocks are the males. It used to a running gag to tell people at the zoo that pea cocks do not lay eggs, just the pea hens. (OK terrible joke). Dennis
