When calling the cows we say "sub! sub"! and when calling the calves we say "suck"! suck"! When calling the hens we say "tuck! tuck! and when calling the chickens we say "chick! chick! The ducks we cal "Feen! Feen"! The geese we call "baddy! baddy"! The bonhambs we call "bon! bon"! The pigs we call "hurrish! hurrish! The pony we call "Jim" and the horse we call "Jack". Eggs are generally hatched in March and April and the date in which the eggs are being hatched is marked on the eggs. Hen-eggs take three weeks to hatch and four weeks for duck-eggs.
