    There are not any stories told of famous horses.
    There are different kinds of fowl to be found on the farm, such as ducks, geese, hens, chickens, and turkeys.
    When the eggs are put down to hatch there is a little mark put on them so that it would be easy to tell between them and fresh eggs.
    There are special ways for calling the different animals. When a person is feeding hens they call them "Chuck Chuck." When a person is calling calves they say "bet bet." When a person is calling turkies they say "bie bie."
