The guina hen iz a spekled kritter, smaller than the goose, and bigger
than the wild pigeon.
They hav a keen eye, and a red kokade on their heds, and alwas walk on
the run.
They lay eggs in great profushun, but they lay them so much on the sly,
that they often kan't find them themselfs.
They are az freckled az a coach dog, and just about az tuff tew eat az a
half-biled krow.
They hav a voic like a piccallo flute, and for racket two ov them kan
make a saw that iz being filed ashamed ov itself.
They are a very shy bird, and the nearer yu git tew them the further
they git oph.
They are more ornamental than uceful, but are chiefly good tew frighten
away hawks.
They will see a hawk up in the sky three miles and a-half off, and will
begin at once tew holler and make a fuss about it.
