- When people are calling hens to their food they "chuck chuck" and when they are calling ducks they say "pheet pheet".
When they are calling geese they say "badaig" badaig" and when they are calling turkey they say "bed bed" and when they are calling pigs they say "furris, furris".
When people want to set a dutch of eggs the first thing they have to do is to get a box and put straw into it.
Then they have to get a "gor" and put her sitting on the eggs. She hatches them for three weeks and then the chickens come out.
My people never heard of putting a mark on the eggs.
