A hen becomes the adoptive mother of 3 kittens after her mother drowned …

A Kurdish farmer in the city of Erbil, in the Kurdistan region of northern Iraq, discovered that his chickens took care of 3 kittens after her mother drowned in a lake.

According to the “Daily Mail” newspaper, the farmer, Goran Surchi, was surprised by the sound of a meow coming from the chicken hut on his farm, so he looked for the source of the sound.

In a wonderful scene, the Kurdish farmer found that one of his chickens took some kittens under her wings to warm them tenderly.

A video clip showed Goran walking towards the hen and gently raising it, only to discover that the kittens had taken shelter from the bottom of the hen.

The newspaper pointed out that the video clip spread quickly on social networking sites, garnering hundreds of thousands of views.

Goran said the kittens found safety with the hen, after her mother tragically drowned in a lake near the farm.

It is believed that the Goran will allow the kitten to stay with its adoptive mother.
