Chicken Names & Divebombing Birds
We got the chickens! My dog is scared of them. They are fun to watch, they also eat from your hand. We have 6 I’ve named them all; Runningwind, Waterfoot, Scratchclaw, Stripedbeak, (who are all reddish brown) and, Whiteclaw and Goldenfoot (who are white with a little brown). They are stories behind their names. They are all Rode Island Reds; they are hens.
The barn swallows have made a nest in our bird house. If you come within 5 feet of the bird house one of them flies out and circles around your head until you go into a building. They are so pretty to look at.
(Editor: StarWolf is sending pics/video of the chickens soon. Meanwhile, enjoy this YouTube video of barn swallow chicks!)

My dad, mom and brother are really good birdwatchers so I’m sort of interested, the swallows are sooooo cute.

This has nothing to do with this, but for the collecting hair thing do you think dog hair would work. When we groom our dog outside it looks like a big cottonfield.

A horse ranch is opening down the street from my house. I am so excitited. My neighbors went to the ranch because they had an old sailor to get rid of and the lady that runs it said that she needed volunteers. My mom said that we could go down to the ranch after church today! Yay!

I messed up the names.
In my next blog I gave the right names.
