A chicken.
It is always heartening to witness the maternal bond between animals in the wild, whether it is a dog tending to her litter, a lioness nurturing her cubs, or a hen clucking over her brood. However, a recent social media post featuring a mother hen and her chicks has left many people scratching their heads due to its curious caption.
Specifically, the caption states that the hen is shielding her offspring from the rain using her wings because she cannot “afford” an umbrella. While some may interpret this statement as a humorous observation, others have pointed out that it seems misguided and impractical, given that the creature in question is a chicken. Furthermore, some commenters have pointed out that there is no such thing as a miniature umbrella for hens, and have expressed their confusion about the message being conveyed. Nonetheless, the sight of a mother hen protecting her young from the elements is still a touching reminder of the instinctual love and devotion present in the animal kingdom.
