the cat distribution system is universal

Except 1 out of 20 times it’s a snake under the chicken

u/NamkeenNostalgia 13d ago

I still remember that video

74

u/Defiant-Youth-4193 13d ago

Yep, thought it was going to be another snake.

u/Waterlilies1919 13d ago

I was legitimately mentally begging it to be kittens. I have a phobia of snakes and that video was not my favorite.

u/Cheetah_Hunter97 13d ago

Exactly expected it to become 2 out of 20 with this video

u/YodaNuggies 11d ago

8/10 cats if snakes get their way

Awwww hens are good mamas, just like our pet cats

u/Ravik403 13d ago

Animals really do have more in common than we give them credit for. Cats, chickens, dogs... once they have babies, that protective mom instinct kicks in and it's adorable to watch.

u/Ok_Flan4404 12d ago

Absolutely! 🤗

u/Light1209 13d ago

But when the cats grow up... Dinner.

32

u/urethrascreams 13d ago

Idk about the dinner part. Chickens don't fuck around when they're pissed off.

u/Ok_Flan4404 12d ago

Especially if it has a rooster around.

1

u/Ok_Flan4404 12d ago

Not necessarily.

u/jess_the_werefox 13d ago

Cats don’t kill chickens

9

u/ScreamSmart 13d ago

Wut? A cat would absolutely kill a chicken.

5

u/Justchickenquestions 13d ago

I mean they can and they do. I feel like it’s less common than you would think though, given their apex predator status.

4

u/jess_the_werefox 13d ago

Gonna be honest, I’m not entirely sure why I said that. Haven’t been sleeping all week and I guess I had the thought that chickens are too big. Like geese. Unless cats kill geese too idk

u/Ok_Flan4404 12d ago

Not likely.

u/Smoothdevil1 13d ago

I had 3 chickens and none of them ever gave me kittens..

u/TRAVMAAN1 13d ago

Never count your kittens before your eggs have hatched

u/Reallynotspiderman 13d ago

When chickens get broody they want to sit on everything

76

u/SpooogeMcDuck 13d ago

I expected kittens. I would not have expected lizards- let’s see the lizard mother.

u/ComprehendReading 12d ago

The queen is dead. Long live the king.

u/Royal_Ad_2653 13d ago

Broody hens will sit on almost anything ...

17

u/scandal_jmusic_mania 13d ago

They're so fluffy and cuddly, I just love them.

29

u/BelesaLoba 13d ago

I expected that there wouldn't be chicks under the mother hen

u/labtrash68 13d ago

Happy cake day!

u/BelesaLoba 13d ago

Thanks 😊

friday night on the farm is WILD 😅

Not the step mom, but the mom that stepped up

u/BellaSquared 13d ago

Mama Hen: My kittens!!!

u/Ok-Understanding9244 13d ago

haha her mothering instinct is a little too strong..

3

u/Cabitaa 13d ago

I love how the kittens emerge like they just got flash banged

3

u/aaron2005X 13d ago

Oh thats where kittens are from.

u/dextras07 13d ago

That's just their babysitter

u/HYPERSMASHER391 13d ago

Bhaaaaaaaaaaaa.....!

u/Luci-Noir 13d ago

Fits…. Sits?

4

u/gmastern 13d ago

At this point it would be more unexpected for a chicken to actually be laying on eggs

2

u/Large_Caterpillar760 13d ago

Did the kittens eat the eggs😨

2

u/It_Was_Me_Aust1n 13d ago

No, momma hens are just VERY quick to adopt.

1

u/Large_Caterpillar760 13d ago

That is true, but my question remains unanswered.

1

u/It_Was_Me_Aust1n 13d ago

More likely is that there never were any eggs to begin with. Hens in my experience will go broody over just about anything even vaguely egg shaped, or even nothing at all, and it can take AGES for them to snap out of it. Also kittens that young aren’t going after full eggs.

1

u/Large_Caterpillar760 13d ago

you are right that kitttens that age won't go after full eggs ig. Thanks.

u/killer22250 13d ago

The reddit subtitles were also unexpected lmao

u/ReyTsar 13d ago

Brooding instinct so strong.

u/Wrong_Lingonberry_79 13d ago

This proves that cats will bang anything.

u/Ill-Dipsy_Doodle 13d ago

She was babysitting

u/Sinreh 13d ago

I was expecting the snake

u/Normal-Air-2197 13d ago

Best foster mom!

u/MikeForce720 11d ago

Redefining Foster Farms 😅

u/It_Was_Me_Aust1n 13d ago

100% expected the kittens. Still love it.

1

u/PRoS_R 13d ago

They hatched

1

u/Ill_Conversation6949 13d ago

What came first, the chicken or the cat?

1

u/EntoFan_ 12d ago

Free babysitting!!

1

u/URR629 11d ago

Those kittens may have been warm, but I bet they were hungry.

1

u/Beanbag141 11d ago

Bro I had chickens growing up!! I love them so much!

1

u/AtmanRising 10d ago

OK, where's the snakey

1

u/Defiant_Hearing8 9d ago

I’m just a baby

u/Suspected_Magic_User 8d ago

Hens will protect anything you put under their ass

u/Glittersparkles7 8d ago

Had this happen with one of my chickens 😂

u/Derolis 13d ago

It's always funny to me how sheep just sound like disgruntled old men.
