  1. The Care of Our Farm Animals

    Share Share Post
    The farm animals we have are:
    The cow, calf, sheep, donkey.
    One cow is called the black cow. When driving cows we say How! How! How! and driving calves we say Suck! Suck! Suck!
    There is a badge hung in some stable to bring good luck on the animals that is in it.
    It is a lucky day to set eggs on Thursday. The hen sits on the eggs for three weeks and hen the young birds come out.
    Before the eggs are sat there is a black mark of ink put on them to bring good luck.
