  1. Calls of the Animals

    Share Share Post
    In our place when they are calling the hens they say "tuk, tuk " and all the hens run for their food. When feeding ducks we say "spoon, spoon" and when calling geese we say "laddy laddy". When calling turkeys people "Bee Bee". when calling cows home we say "prod prod" and they walk home. When calling calves people say "suck, suck". When calling sheep we "thoo thoo". When calling pigs people say "thuck thuck". When calling goats we say "mag mag mag" we also say "gin gin".
    When selling eggs we always sprinkle holy water three times on them.
