- When putting eggs to hatch, people usually put a piece of iron or a horse shoe in the nest or put the hen hatching in a metal pot in case lightning would harm the eggs.
Mary O'Dwyer, Clashberg. Mullinahone.
Told by Mrs. Delahunty, Clashberg. (Aged 75 yrs. Farmer.) - Goats are usually kept with cows as people say it is lucky to have goats with cows. Goats have very strong milk, they milk about two quarts each night and morning. They are very clever and come home when it is going to rain.Mary Jo Tobin,
