David and Goliath

I know this looks menacing but it did have a happy ending. The rooster started eyeballing the chick and I wasn't sure how this was going to end, but then mother hen clucked in the distance and the little chick raced towards her and all ended well. I'm not sure that the rooster was going to hurt it, it just looked intrigued.
