First glance at this hen made me laugh out loud, all these feet under one body!!! Then I got to thinking about how God specially designed hens for this position, to hover over their chicks, protecting them without squishing them, letting them roam but calling them to her at the first sign of danger. You should have seen this hen move into action when a goat wandered into this farm stall/shop to eat some of the corn on the floor! You know the term madder than a wet hen? Yep, she wasn’t wet but she was fierce! She wanted to keep her chicks safe and that goat being 7 times her size didn’t phase her. God wants to gather all his chicks under his protective wings, but we wandering ones have to be willing to seek that shelter; if one of those little pairs of feet was out and about underfoot, it easily could’ve been trampled by the goat’s sharp hooves.
Now that’s a picture of protection!
