What a hen provides for a horse, in certain ways? (4)
I believe the answer is:
eggs
'what a hen provides' is the definition.
I can't judge whether this defines the answer.
'a horse in certain ways?' is the wordplay.
'a horse' becomes 'gg' (geegee or GG is a childish term for a horse).
'in' means one lot of letters goes inside another.
'certain ways?' becomes 'es' (east and south - two directions. I am not sure about the 'certain' bit.).
'gg' placed within 'es' is 'EGGS'.
'for' is the link.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for eggs that I've seen before include "Ova" , "Roe" , "Bacon and - -" , "Poultry products" , "Bacon's partners" .)
