I can’t believe Pecker and Pooper are only two months old.  How is that possible!  They are behemoths.

And really they are only medium sized.  They will be much bigger very soon.

Pecker’s probably a boy.  That means he’ll be crowing in a few months. I’m not exactly sure when.  It makes me sad to think about having to give him up.  I’m pretty sure the neighbors will not be excited to be woken up every morning by him.  He used to be the smaller chicken, and now he’s much larger than Pooper, who is almost definitely a girl.  I won’t really know for absolute certain until she starts laying eggs, but i’m pretty sure already.  Here’s Ben holding Pecker one evening:

It’s possible he will be living up north with some friends in Cazadero.  I really don’t want anybody to eat him, he’s a pleasant and fun rooster, so far.

Here’s a picture of their coop while it was being  built:
