We have a small flock of free range chickens, and when a hen goes broody we let her hatch a few chicks. It is a marvelous thing to observe. But that has me cracking up at the use of the word “hatching”, here. ROFL with the visualizations... This especially with the (past?) Brit use of “bird” for a (usually young) woman.
I wonder if the Brits have the same meaning for “little pecker” as we generally do here?!
And since it is Sat. night:

Better keep THAT bird away from the hen!
Ooh ah!!
