Attack!!

We went out to get the eggs this morning and a broody hen was sitting on the nest. Usually this is a simple case of picking her up and moving her, the hen quickly forgets about it and moves on with her routine. "Broody" here means the maternal instinct to hatch eggs. Today she wanted to put up a fight! I have never heard such sounds come out of a chicken before.
