    "Chuck, chuck" is the way we call we call the hens.
    When we are calling the pigs we say "suck suck."
    When we are calling the horse or the ass we say "tweh tweh."
    When we are calling the sheep we say "chow chow."
    When we are calling the geese we say "bada, bada."
    When we are calling the turkeys we say "Bead, Bead."
    The people put a cross with a pencil on the hatching eggs so that if any other hen played on them their eggs would be known.
