Goat And Rooster Save Chicken From Hawk Attack

September 15, 2021

A hawk picked the wrong farm to mess with and it was all captured on camera.

Jaap Beets, a farmer in the Netherlands, says he was in his farmhouse on September 5 when he heard a commotion coming from his livestock outside.

As the security camera video shows, a hawk had swooped down on one of his chickens.

The next thing you know a fearless rooster comes running to the chicken's aid. Moments later a goat comes running in and charges at the hawk. Together they were able to force the hawk to fly away.

"I was so proud of the rooster and the goat jumping in to defend our chicken. I was also very relieved that the chicken survived," Beets told the Daily Mail.

Beets confirmed that the chicken had only minor injuries.

"Fortunately the chicken only had two minor wounds. It took her a few days to get back to normal. The other birds rallied around and kept her company."
