It is unlucky to put thirteen eggs on a clutch. it is unlucky to meet a grey haired man when you are going to Mass. It is unlucky to get a heel of a shoe lost. It is unlucky to have fifteen chickens. it is unlucky two chickens to come out of one egg. It is unlucky a cow to have a calf with two heads, it brings bad luck to the house. It is unlucky if a black cat breaks his leg.
