We've made naked eggs, put eggs in a bottle, folded eggs, and we've even shown you how to determine whether an egg is hard-boiled or raw.

POULTRY SOUNDS

Have you ever heard a turkey gobble? A rooster crow?  A duck quack?

Gooble! Gooble!!

can you make a turkey gobble?

Cock-a-doodle-do!!

How do you say Rooster in your part of the world?

Quack! Quack!!

I was trying to read outside on a lovely Summer day, but my two pet ducks, Quacker and Jack, wanted my attention. They also wanted to carry on an in-depth conversation. Can anyone count the number of quacks???
