Uganda Today Edition:  The Wisdom of a Hen: Life Lessons from a Mother’s Journey

As we observe the life cycle of a hen, from laying eggs to raising her chicks, we can glean valuable lessons on nurturing, protection, and growth. Let’s embark on a journey to explore the character traits of a hen and the wisdom she imparts.
Lesson 1: Productivity and Purpose (Laying Eggs)
A hen’s life begins with a clear purpose: to lay eggs. She dedicates herself to this task, often laying over 300 eggs per year. We can learn from her focus and productivity, applying these qualities to our own goals and aspirations.
Lesson 2: Patience and Incubation
After laying eggs, a hen patiently incubates them for 21 days, diligently turning and warming them. This process teaches us the value of patience, persistence, and dedication, as we await the fruits of our labor.
Lesson 3: Unconditional Love and Protection (Hatching and Guarding)
When her chicks hatch, a hen’s maternal instincts kick in, and she becomes fiercely protective. She guards her brood with her life, shielding them from predators and harm. This selfless love and devotion inspire us to nurture and safeguard our own loved ones.

A hen feeds and teaches her chicks essential survival skills, such as foraging and socializing. We can learn from her example by providing sustenance and guidance to those in our care, empowering them to grow and thrive.
