“When people are putting down a "clutch" they only put down twelve eggs because that is a lucky number...”
When people are putting down a "clutch" they only put down twelve eggs because that is a lucky number and they make the sign of the cross with a burned stick and they say that will bring good luck. If a cock crows three times at midnight some one of your friends are dead. The old people say that if there is a wake in a house the cock will crow four times night. If you see a feather loose on a hen it is the sign of a stranger coming. If you see a wisp out of a hen it is the sign of a funeral.
