Mothers are indeed priceless. What do you call mothers that flush their babies in the pits or drop them in the refuse dumps?

You people are so scared of snakes that you make them look so powerful. Two mortal strikes on its head is enough to take that snake out. I have seen a chicken battle with a dog and make the dog run away. Hens, especially with chicks, are always overly protective and vicious. Even hawks know this.
With which beak? A hen's beak or an eagle's, falcon and owl?

But will they live?

Nature can be cruel

In fact, cruelty is part of Nature's essence

or how else can I explain that Lions kill the cubs of ousted males just to get the females in heat?

That's like somebody chasing you out of your home and then kills your kids just to sleep with your wife

Yes they will live if you place them in a cartoon box with a bush lamp inside and feed them with grower feeds or starter feeds for about 2 to 3 weeks or until they grow feathers. I did same to my local chick when my neighbor jealously injured my mother hen and now those chicks are raising their own chicks and they male chicks were part of the Christmas menugrin

Don't underestimate those beaks.

There was a show on NatGeo Wild where a rooster fought off a cobra. Perhaps, you can find such videos on YouTube. They use those beaks a lot, especially when foraging, and they are tough.

The only thing about snakes is their fangs, venom and their quick snaps. They are very poor defensively.

Chickens can kill a snake... Depends on the size... I have watched where a snake bite a small chicken, and trying to take it away before a big chicken fathering d small chicken appears from no where and attack d snake mercilessly to death... But d small chicken dies moment after d even, but d big chicken lives.

Exactly bro.

It's unbelievable seeing people believe that a hen can kill a snake that size angry

LOL!

don't mind the ignorant people. chickens are not as not as strong as they appear. they show aggressiveness just to protect their young ones and that's just it.

ducks and turkeys are way stronger. at least, i've witnessed a mother duck chase a kite up in the air. first time i realized ducks can fly higher than chickens.

For some of you dumb NLs who have made comments like "the only thing a woman has to offer is sex". This is one of the sacrifices women make that go unnoticed. Besides check your mother before making such dumb statements.
Both parents have roles to play in the family. Being a woman is nothing special. Your comment just excluded you from one of the good mothers.

you must be kidding. snake's skin is as tough as leather. a chickens breakable beak can only scratch it but can't inflict any injury.

i agree with you that hens with chicks are vicious...but that's just it. vicious with no physical strength. chickens are chickens.

Is comparing women to chicken a step in the right direction?
Dumbass...

Nobody is talking about lions here.

Go to YouTube, I am sure you will find videos of chickens killing snakes cheesy

I have seen a video on NatGeo Wild of a rooster making a cobra (a whole cobra) back away. If its beak did not sting enough, I don't think the cobra would have left the fight.

You sure don't know much about the long past battle for supremacy btw 'Aves' and 'reptiles'. Raptor Aves (Carnivorous birds) are known to be natural predators to reptiles. This snake was even lucky it wasn't a raptor bird (Hawk, Eagle, Falcon, owl etc..) else, it'd been a meal. Domestic fowls don't naturally hunt snakes but, would battle them for supremacy and space.
tell them... I'm glad I was born watching Discovery Chanel n NatGeoWide. It sure leads your mind on a discovery path

Its not advisable to comment while on menstruation and how does your point correlate with the story?

It does not correlate to killing a snake. I say this as someone who has chickens and hens as pets for 11 years They cannot kill snakes. Rather, it is the opposite. Snakes will kill the hen, eat her chicks and the eggs. At most, the hen will fight, but cannot kill the snake. Even if the hen is a "bush hen"
Bro I have seen mother hen with my eyes battle snake, even dog to save her chicks
