Description: A Hen after seeing some birds of prey, which wanted to steal her chicks, she made her chicks enter as quickly as they could under a large oak basket which she found at her convenience, urging them not to break into it; after which she put herself on her side in defense, and she opposed with so much courage the violence of these birds, that they were obliged to withdraw without having been able to carry away any of her chicks.
