    Pigs
    Pigs are kept in nearly every farmyard. They are fed twice a day. The house they are in is called the pig-sty. They are different from all other animals. Some pigs are wicked.
    Hens
    Hens are very quiet. My mother has about ninty five hens. The different kinds of hens she has are Rhode Island Reds, white wyandottes and white Leghorns. When my mother goes to call the hens she says chucky chucky.
