    The hens, geese, ducks, and turkeys lay eggs every day. When they have thirteen, or fourteen eggs they hatch the eggs and bring out the young. In the house where the fowl are kept there are sticks going from one wall to another, which are called a roost. The fowl fly up there, and sleep on it. When calling the hens we say Tuk!
