Very endangered, the hen is in a brood pen with its ten chicks while the chicks grows under the protection of the temporary home. These critters are on the bottom of the food chain, they are meant to be eaten which when you’re endangered, isn’t a good place to be on the pyramid. The hen’s name comes from its very unfriendly greetings during the every other hour feeding. Aggressively “greeting” you at the pen’s door is her trademark. She does this because she is such a good mom, protecting her chicks making sure they have the very best opportunity for survival.
