  1. We have about thirty hens at home, they are fed on potatoes pollard and oats.
    We call one "Topping" and another "Speck".
    When my mother is going to put down a hen to hatch she puts a horseshoe under the box for luck.
    There is a ring put on the cock's leg and a bit of a copper wire tied to the ring.
