  1. The Fowl

    Share Share Post
    We keep(s) thirty hens on our farm. They fed on grain and boiled potatoes . They dont lay well in the cold weather. When we call them we say "chuck chuck". The house (s) they go into is called the Fowl House. They lay every day in (cold) hot weather, about twelve eggs. We keep different breeds of hens. Black Minorca's, White Wyandottes and Light Sussex. They go into their house at six o' clock.
    We keep no ducks, turkeys, or geese.
