Description
Summary:crop1 v "We'll have to _crap_ the wings of the fowls. They'm gettin into Aunt Callie's garden and eating her plant seed". The wings of the hens are crapped to keep them from flying in over the fences and getting in and ruining peoples early plants. Only one wing is crapped. This keeps the hen off balance and she can't fly. If you crapped her two wings, she'd fly. corrected april 5, 1966 DICT CEN.
