This video of a chicken looking after 3 orphaned kittens went viral because, well, watch

Most unexpected ‘awww!’ video of the week is surely this, a video of a chicken which went viral because instead of incubating eggs it’s been looking after 3 orphaned kittens instead.

The clip was shared on TikTok by Goran Surchi, a Kurdish farmer in Iraq who heard meows coming from the chicken coop and thought they might be in danger. Quite the opposite, in fact …
