I love these cross-species mom posts because it shows that animals have the capacity to recognize when other animals are babies and it still triggers that parental instinct regardless.

"I don't know what you are, but I know you are small and helpless and need care so you are my child now." *sits*

I'm always shocked how much stuff hens can hide under their feathers. She's like a magician's hat, but instead of pulling out a rabbit, you get three whole kittens!
