A hen in China has reportedly adopted two orphaned puppy dogs after their
mother died.
Owner, Cao Fengying, of Majiaqiao village, Jiashan town, China, says the
hen was best friends with the puppy's mother.
Will and Guy have learned that
Cao reported, 'The hen and the dog had been friends for two years. They
would never fight but just play together. I thought the puppies would die
after their mother went but the next morning I discovered that the puppies
had gone missing. Then I heard the hen clucking in her coop. I looked over
and saw that the little puppies were underneath the hen.'
The hen now looks after her adopted children, defending them if anyone
approaches and letting them eat first at meal times. 'Once I even saw the
hen fight off several other chickens which were trying to steal the puppies'
food,' continued Cao.

More fascinating news has reached Will and Guy about Humans and Chickens.
Would you believe that we have found a lady who knits jumpers, jerseys,
for featherless chickens. A woman from Oxfordshire, England, has started
knitting sweaters for the naked creatures. Previously she had been supplying
local dogs with their woollies.
The jumpers are made from eyelash wool and were specially designed after
the chickens' measurements were taken.
Ms Blaine explained that measuring the chickens was problematic.
'Obviously they have quite small necks and big bodies,' she said, 'And I had
to make room for the wings. It was a bit like knitting a funnel.'
