Lyla Doll, having read in a newspaper that poultry-raising was remunerative, decided to try it. She purchased a hen and set her on thirteen eggs. She wrote to a poultry journal, asking how long a hen should remain on eggs. The paper wrote back: Three weeks for chickens, and four weeks for ducks. Later she wrote to the poultry journal as follows: Many thanks for your advice about the setting hen. She remained on the nest three weeks, but hatched no chickens, and as I did not prefer ducks, I removed her from the nest and sold the eggs.
