- When a frog came into the kitchen it would be the sign of good luck. If the cock started crowing in the door it would be the sign of a death. If a hen went into the roost with a straw on her tail it would be a sign that someone was going to die. If that cat turned his back to the fire it would be the sign of bad weather.
