Growing Up

Despite our best intentions, the coop building was postponed a week longer than we really wanted because of typical April weather in Portland: Rain.
And lots of it!

During this time the Brips (still housed in our bathroom), practiced roosting. This was an activity from which they derived great enjoyment. Here is a photo of my Barred Plymouth-Rock Penelope, practicing exactly that on my hand. When they were in this phase they were content to do this for hours!
