Of increasing Houfholdffuffe. 1551

work diligently as I have shewed you, in three hundred Eggs you shall hardly loseten or twenty ac most. But because they are hatcht without the datn, I must shewhow to make

A Cockjoster Chickens as the Hen doth,

For they would die,if none did keep them. But a Cock or Capon will perform whatthe Hen should; "do but (hew him the Chicken, and stroke him gently on the back,and give him meat out of your hands often, that he may become tame. Then pullthe feathers off of his brest, and rub him with Nettles, for in a few hours, not to faydays, he will take care of the Chickens so well and give them their meat, that noHen did ever do it,as he will.
