SETS ON GUINEA
x s. y
FOWL EGG NEST

At last the proud, Strutting COB
bier has been reduced to the hui
man equivalent of dish washing.
The chesty male has forsaken the
strenuous duties Of bug-hunting
and children chasing to set meek
ly over a nest of eggs-eggs that
aren't even Of his own kind.
A. Ross Hoyt of the South Nc
Coll road. between McAllen and
Pharr, states that he has two
Mammoth Bronze gobblers that
have his barnyard "kutawing"
with surprise. They recently
found nests of duck and guinea
hen eggs in the yard and forth
with climbed into the nests and
began setting.
Hoyt, poultry expert, says this
is the first time in his experience
that such a thing has ever hap
pened.
The McAllen man has a large
collection Of poultry which in
cludes wild and semi-wild species.
He keeps them in the poultry
tight 20-acre orchard. 1t was in
this lot that the gobblers found
the duck and guinea eggs.
Hoyt says he will let the COB
blers 60 ahead and find out how
they like the duties of mothering
web-footed, water-loving birds.
He declares the gobbler nesting
on the duck eggs is due for a big
surprise when the little ones are
led in the vicinity Of the lake.
