Protective Mother Hen Keeps a Litter of Three Kittens Safe From the Elements Under Her Warm Feathers

Kurdish soldier and farmer Goran Surchi captured absolutely adorable footage of a very protective white hen sitting in a milk crate and keeping her brood safe from the outdoor elements. When Surchi lifted the hen, however, he did not find a group of baby chicks but rather a litter of three tiny kittens who mewed in complaint when their hiding place was discovered.
