Chicken Update

Last time I talked about the chickens I had 4 ducks and 12 chickens. Well now we are down to 7 hens and 1 rooster, but no ducks 3 of which died the other one flew away. The chickens have also been laying eggs, at first just 2 a day now they lay, anywhere from 4 to 6 a day. The rooster is also becoming more aggressive hitting us with his wings and sometimes scratching with his claws. To protect the hens from us which is kind of funny because we dont want the hens. If I could I would tell him but,  I don't speak chicken.

Reading the Bible and A new start

Well first off I would like to say sorry for not posting thruogh the whole Bible and that I will try tjo be much more persistent blogging. Second off i am going to add more pictures and video attachments for my Blog. Third off If you want you can friend me on facebook I am Donald Ball.

Now lets get to the bible stuff. Today I read in Leviticus chapter 1 to chapter 9. All about the laws and offerings. How the Isrealites were allowed to only eat certain things. It reminds me of how when you go back to school or youth group the teachers give you some rules. These were basically Gods rules for the Isrealites world. The Isrealites were not always good at obeying so they got in trouble just like we do except the rules were different so in Levitucus I learned that God makes strict rules so taht we will stand apart.

Field trip to the Zoo

 My younger brother Shadrach got to go to the Zoo in Amarillo and he wanted our whole family to come. Sadly my dad could not make because of an important meeting in Vernon. My brother was sad but then happy again. Knowing that Marcus, Carl, and I were going to come and have fun with him. The zoo animals were energetic we got to see a weird deer looking like thing (it let me pet it), we also saw some bobcats and even some Kangaroos. The lions and tigers were taking naps until the 1st graders showed them how to roar. The bears on the other hand were ready to go up the stairs and play. When we went into the snake house the glass made it so that we couldn't get struck. There were speedy tortoises and American bison. After we had looked at all the animals we played on the playground. There was this thing that was to high up for the younger kids to reach so they asked me to pick them up. They weighed more than they looked; because, it was hard to pick them up and hold them for a little while. After that we went to the picnic and went home after that.  

This is the animal that let me pet it.

Psalms

Today while reading Psalms I noticed that a lot of the Psalms were written by David. The book of Psalms is like a book of songs and poems about God .  Most of the Psalms are pretty long but some of them can be pretty short. Some of the Psalms are both in the book of Psalms and in another book. Psalms has 5 parts or books in some versions of the bible and is the longest book in the bible and contains the longest verse in the bible too. 

Pig in the harness

I finally got a harness on my pig Bandette boy did she squeal about that. Putting the harness on was the easy part now taking it off. That is a completely different story. After I had put the harness on Bandette I had to go get a leash so that I could walk her around.  My dad said that I couldn't walk her outside because she might try to run away. So I had to walk her in the llama pen and introduce her to all of the other animals chickens, llamas, sheep, and ducks. It was a lot of fun getting Bandette to let me walk her.

Baby pig

What kind of backyard is it without a pig? That's right, we got a baby pig. It squeals with delight when we feed it, and it squeals with madness when I try to put a harness on it to take it for a walk. She doesn't like it when I pick her up either, so it is hard to move her from place to place when carrying her. Our pig's name is Bandit but, when I learned that the pig was a girl I started calling it Bandette. We recently moved our pig form our sheep transporting cage to the old chicken enclosure. We also moved the chicken coop and modified it into what I call a chicken duplex. Because it is really tall and it has four stories.
