| Hen and Chickens | Literature | 1: A whistling maid and crowing hen is neither fit for God nor men. A whistling maid means a witch, who whistles like the Lapland witches to call up the winds; they were supposed to be in league with the devil. The crowing of a hen was supposed to forbode a death. The usual interpretation is that masculine qualities in females are undesirable. 2: (in Christian art), emblematical of God's providence. (See St. Matthew xxiii. 37.).
