- (continued from previous page)The fowl were kept in one corner of the kitchen.
- They never had cement floors. They made a floor of yellow clay. They had a large flag as a hearthstone.
They kept the hens and ducks in one corner of the house. In the slated houses they had small windows. The frame was of iron with panes a couple of inches long.
Some people had no glass in the window. They had only a bag of straw which they stuffed the hole with.- Collector
