[QUOTE="anthonyinjaxon, post: 609075, member: 17024"] I heard from my old grandmother that when a hen crows like a rooster it meant that there was going to be a death in the immediate family. She had a lot of chickens and when she would get a hen crower (granny's words not mine) she would worry and if it kept crowing she would have my gramps cut its head off and make chicken and dumplings, the best ever and granny took the dumplings recipe to the grave with her. She was very superstitious, she was born and raised in England and her family came here (Middle Tn.) for a better life. She also said if a bird flew into your house somebody was going to die. If you dropped your broom on the floor which ever direction the handle on the broom pointed company was coming from that direction, the same thing applied to dropped silverware. I miss her, she lived to be 101 and kept her mind until the end, her body gave out. She knew a lot about chickens because that was her hobby. Also the crowing hen would sometimes be put into a small cage (chicken prison) trying to break the bird from crowing. My granny was one of a kind everybody came to her about any chicken problems.
