Plural of feg; dialectal or archaic term for a small thing or a fidget.
Possibly related to fig or a Germanic root meaning 'to move restlessly.' This appears to be a colloquial or regional term with uncertain etymology.
Fegs might come from the same root as 'fidget'—both describe that jittery, can't-sit-still energy that kids get when they're bored!
