The farm animals we have are: The cow, calf, sheep, donkey. One cow is called the black cow. When driving cows we say How! How! How! and driving calves we say Suck! Suck! Suck! There is a badge hung in some stable to bring good luck on the animals that is in it. It is a lucky day to set eggs on Thursday. The hen sits on the eggs for three weeks and hen the young birds come out. Before the eggs are sat there is a black mark of ink put on them to bring good luck.
