   When calling pigs you say "Deoc, deoc, deoc". There is an old tradition that the pig has a special sight, that he can see the wind. When calling goats you say "kiddy, kiddy, kiddy". It is said that it is unlucky to harm a goat. There is an old story in this neighbourhood that one day a man killed a goat because she ate his cabbage. On going out the next morning he found one of his cows dead in the exact spot where he killed the goat. When calling hens we say "Tiocfaidh, tiocfaidh, tiocfaidh". Hens are a weather - guide. If when it starts to rain hens take shelter it is a sign that it will only be a shower, but if they do not take shelter and pick about it is a sign of a wet day. When calling geese you say "Gause, gause, gause". When setting eggs holy water is shaken on them for luck.
