More Animals

 Our neighbor gave us a new baby chicken!

 I found this little guy in our living room.  I tried to convince my friend that we should let it live in our house because it eats bugs but she didn't want it to so I let it go back outside.

 This is Kailey and Ethan, our new chicken and rooster.

The animals in our new home

 When I saw our new house with a fenced-in yard and a dog house I thought it would be fun to have chickens.  A friend of ours heard that and decided to give me a pair of half-grown chicks that they had.  So these two were named after my nieces-Ashley and Allisyn-and they came with us from Ankara.

One day I came into our living room and there was a pair of sparrows perched on our chandelier.  When they saw me they started flying into the windows trying to get out.  We finally chased them under the bookcase one at a time and caught them and put them in this box.  I gave them some water because they were totally exhausted but every time I opened the box they were completely still like statues.  We let them go of course and I often see sparrows flitting around our house and wonder if it is these ones.
