THATCHER, AZ (AZFamily) — In Thatcher, Arizona — about three hours southeast of Phoenix — life moves a little slower.

Raising and selling chickens is how 10-year-old Kinley Maner enjoys her rural life.

"I just thought that it would be fun, because when they're little, they're so cute," Kinley said.

"She really enjoyed it, had a lot of fun, learned a lot about chickens," said J.R. Maner, Kinley's father. "It really taught her kind of strict obedience of being out there and taking care of an animal."

Kinley proudly showed her chickens at the Graham County Fair, eventually putting them up for auction.

In the end, her six chickens sold for a whopping $2,100.

The treasurer of the Small Stock Association wrote Kinley a check, which was electronically deposited at Chase Bank.

"So we cashed it," J.R. said. "Didn't think it would be a big deal. And the next day, Chase closed Kalli's bank account."

And Kinley's check was also frozen, meaning she didn't get that $2,100.

Kinley's mom, Kalli, spent hours on the phone with Chase, trying to get answers.

Chase told the family the check was suspicious because bank officials looked up a phone number for the Small Stock Association and claimed it was out of service.
