"A whistling girl and a crowing hen always come to some bad end" - Proverb I just heard for first time today


I couldn't resist passing this old saying along. Heard it for the first time today. Obviously it comes from a time when whistling was considered the province of boys, and domesticated livestock were common enough that people knew the distinct vocalizations of hens and roosters.

Here it is again in case you have trouble reading it in the photo

"A whistling girl and a crowing hen
always come to some bad end"
