Perching hour

Perching hour is the peaceful time in the afternoon, when the birds are in siesta.  Giving those feathers a good going over, generally finding a high place to perch, on all available surfaces,or a nice handle to grip. Trying out the different perching options around the room. Finding their crew, or clique,  or dropping into sleep among friends. It's a sweet time,  all the chickens napping, and you can see the groups of friends that have formed - across breeds and not always who you'd expect; the roosters wandering around making halfhearted passes at the hens and getting ignored.
