  1. Care of Domestic Animals

    This is what you say when you are calling the hens "chuck, chuck" ducks - "weet weet" turkeys - "yib, yib" geese - "baddie baddie".
    When you are putting down eggs you should put a mark on them in order that you would know the eggs from any other eggs.
    You should not swap feathers because it is not lucky and it is not lucky to set eggs on a Sunday. Some people when they are putting down eggs put a basin on their heads so the will have chickens with nobs on their heads.
