Ectobattery hens are quite resourceful and caring

The Marchioness feline left the homestead, which isn't a homestead full of batteries for chickens, because even the chickens are liberated, have become ectobattery chickens!

So Her Most Honourable temporarily left the border or frontier region, or the Newest World, which is, of course, a marquessate or march, an extraregion in proper Ectoenglish, in order to go hunt for some mice, and after she left, a loud thunderstorm ensued.

So it's no longer raining cats and chickens, which is not an Ectoenglish idiom for inclement weather to begin with, but it is actually raining and even thundering outside, and the kittens are scared.

The factory-farmed chicken industry would have us believe chickens are dumb, unfeeling animals, but the picture below proves these birds are more intelligent and loving than many humans!

The two tiny kitties (Earls) look super cozy and grateful to be snuggling under the warm breast of their feathered friend.

And the compassionate hen seems quite content mothering them.

It's not the first time a hen has mothered members of another species. This particular hen was found babysitting kittens in 2008, and the hen had been looking after a clan of cats and kittens for two generations!

The picture above was originally shared by @Buitengebieden over Twitter.

By the way, as @SoloFlow786 has also shown over Twitter, chickens are just as good at catching mice as cats, as the video below conclusively proves:

So the two Marchionesses, the Marquessate duo doesn't fight, and actually it is a little like Sir Paul James Mccartney's song:

Ebony and ivory

Live together in perfect harmony

Side by side on my piano keyboard

Oh Lord, why don't we?
