Superstition of the Week - Chickens

Miss Chicken
Chickens

In the 1800’s it was said that if raining in the morning and chickens are out and about in the yard doing their usual chicken stuff, then it is said that the rain will continue all day. However, if the chickens are huddling under cover, the rain should stop soon.

Another interesting tale we came across is that if an egg is laid on Good Friday or Easter, it will never rot. It may dry out, but supposedly it will never actually decay.
