Thanks, Q. This is curious. The reference is definitely with 'Cluck Old Hen' - Macmillan 1922 edition, reissued by Kennikat Press 1968. The earliest printed reference in Meade for 'Cacklin' Hen' family, which includes 'Old Hen Cackled, is Emma Bell Miles 'The Spirit of the Mountains' James Pott & Co 1905, reprinted 1975 by Uni of Tennessee Press.
