As mums, we know we will go to extraordinary lengths to keep our babies out of harms way.
And it seems that this hen in India is no different.
The hen went viral after footage captured the mum protecting her babies from a heavy outbreak of rain.

Keeping them sheltered with her body, the mother hen's actions are seriously sweet.
The footage shows a number of little legs and a few bodies peeking out from under their mum.
It doesn't come as a surprise that the video has garnered so much attention online.
It currently has 10k retweets and 34k likes.
Twitter has been reacting to the lovely moment.
Mothers will always be mothers, no matter what species they are.

We think this tweet sums up the video perfectly, it reads: "mothers will always be mothers, no matter what species they are."
Another user replied with something every mum can relate to.
"Anyone else see stuff like this and wonder how these mamas have such well-behaved kids? My toddler would be running around splashing mud all over me," the mum joked.

We couldn't agree more, our little ones can get into such mischief.
However, this mother hen is clearly doing something right when it comes to raising her chicks.
