    When people are taking the hatch out of a hen they dip the hen into cold water.
    Another way for taking the hatch out of a hen is to stick a feateh feather up its nose.
    People often "strike" birds with a knife and fork. Once we had a canary in my house and it used never sing unless my mother took out the machine to sow sew.
