    There are also different kinds of fowl such as the hens ducks turkeys geese. When we are setting duck eggs we don't wash them atall. If cows would be rogues they would tie them horn and foot to gather to keep them quiet or some cows that would have no horns they would put a blind on their eyes. When we are setting eggs we put a piece of iron beside them so that if there would be thunder twould keep the chickens form been killed.
