A few seconds later, another companion from the meadow, this time a goat, decided to join forces to save the defenseless chicken from the bird’s sharp claws. The intrepid duo finally manages to fend off the hawk and save their partner’s life. The owner of the farm, Jaap Beets, 59, who was in the house, does not have time to react as the whole scene only lasted 17 seconds. He later learned what happened from the CCTV camera recordings. He later declared himself extremely proud of his animals. However, he said it was not the first time that his chickens were protected in this way from other animals. Last time, another goat and a turkey were the guardian angels of an attacked chicken. “I was so proud of the rooster and the goat that they stood up to defend our chicken,” said Beets. “I was also very relieved that the chicken survived. I heard the animals screaming but it was too late to see the attacker so I checked the video surveillance. Only 17 seconds passed between the appearance and the disappearance of the falcon. ” Thanks to the combined efforts of the two intrepid animals, the hen had a second chance at life. “Fortunately [she had] only two minor injuries,” said the farmer. “It took him a few days to get back to normal. The other birds gathered and kept him company. ”
