Now as a teenager (in development, though not yet even in weeks), the moon has set and she's flecked like city snow. From pics, I guess her stripes will get more pronounced as she reaches her egg-laying age this fall.
Being a bookish type, I've read a lot about chickens in the past few months. Learning a few things that apply to Minerva. Barred means stripy in chicken lingo. So M Cluck is actually a Plymouth Rock that happens to be barred.
My friend Emily (my oracle of all things chicken) told me that her barred Rocks were always really friendly, and Minerva seems to be no exception. She stretched her neck up as far as it could go to see what I was reading in the garden this afternoon. And yesterday, we had breakfast together. I'm not sure she's a fan of Stumptown...
