Will their eggs rot? Not if it's Easter.In celebration of Easter, here are a couple 19th century superstitions from Clifton Johnson's What They Say in New England.
1. An egg laid on Easter will never rot. It may dry out, but it will never actually decay. The same is apparently true of eggs laid on Good Friday.
2. If you wear three new things on Easter, you'll have good luck for the entire year.
You may want to try wearing three new things today to see if it brings luck. I don't know anyone who raises chickens, so I can't ascertain the truth of superstition #1.
