Hu Plig
Place some eggs, raw rice, one candle and three burning incense in a plate next to the live chickens
You want the chicken to face toward the door
You will use one rooster and two hens because one roster and hen is used to Hu Plig
one hen is to hu plig qoob plig loo, plig nyaj plig kub, plig tsaj plig txhuv
Reminder, You hu plig two times, once with live chicken, 2nd time after with cooked chicken
If you want to, you can also hu plig every morning for the full three days. You go outside with three incense to do this since you already done it with the chickens. This is to make sure everyone heard you call them to come home.
Note : when you call them, ie... when you say words like "ca les lug" you need to use the kuam to tap the door. So they hear you call them to come home.

Flip the horns ( )
The goal is to get both horns to face up
You flip the horns right after you say the phrase "yaaj kuam qheb kev quas lug" when you hu plig above. This is the 2nd to last line.
If both sides of the horn are face up then you are done.
If they are not faced up you say the following and flip the horns again till they are faced up.
Yaaj kuam qheb kev quas lug luag ntxhav
luag ntxhw, es lug txais ntsuj dluab ntsuj
plig nyuj raag caab kau plig nyaj plig kub
plig qoob plig loo plig maaj plig
ntuag rua vaaj rua tsev
You do this again and again till both sides face up.
Ntaus kuam es yog ob saab ntxeev tes yog qheb kev.
Flip the horns a 2nd time ( )
This time the goal is to get both horns to face down
The secound time is after phrase "yeeb kuam yuav qaws quas zog rua nruab kab nruab loog"
This time the sides must both be facing down, if they don't you say the following ...
awv lug rua vaaj rua tsev tes yuav qaws
plig tub plig kis plig nyaj plig kub
plig qoob plig loo plig maaj plig ntuag
tuab si rua vaaj rua tsev
You do this again and again till both sides are facing down.
ntaus dlua yog ob saab khwb tes yog qaws lawm
With this complete you can now get the chickens ready for cooking.
Hu Plig 2nd time
Cook the three chickens. Note cook them as a whole not cut into pieces (vum qaab).
Then place them in a bowl with some cooked eggs, cooked rice, candle and three burning incense
Make sure your not using the one that was used to Xiwm Kaab
Make sure the chickens are facing out the door
Then you hu plig again, exactly like the first time.
Remember to turn the chickens toward the inside of the house before you flip the horns (ntaus kuam) for the last time on the verse.
