I saw this pic while surfing.
Did you notice that the feathers are standing and sort of spiked? She seems to be alarmed or furious! Maybe the photographer came too close :)
Mothers are naturally and generally very protective of their offsprings. In this case the chicks are well protected. The hen takes them under her wings to keep them warm and/or when the chicks need protection.
How do we keep them protected from predators in artificial brooding? Screens, nets, metal sheets etc to keep predators off their cages.
