A Hen's Cackling

I hear a hen cackling, after laying the egg gently flapping, her wings in excitement what does she announce to the world? her joy over seeding the Earth is it the same joy, a mother feels after childbirth?

It definitely seems to be the case, Valsa, and it is surprising to see how protective birds and animals are for their developing babies!

Yes, birds and animals are all so protective about the young ones. Thanks a lot Lasaad for always encouraging me.

Used to collect them on my grandads farm, don't think they were too happy with me for taking them. Tom

We all do it ! In a way aren't we exploiting them!? But if we think too much, can we ever enjoy omlet or bulls eye?.... :) Thanks a lot Tom

Oh I most certainly think it is Valsa. We used to raise chickens. They are protective of their eggs and you described their joy after laying an egg perfectly. The rooster fiercely protects his harem of hens. This brought back fond memories. Thank you. New year blessings xxoo
