CLAIRE: Brood? I thought that brooding was the word you used for the hen sitting on her eggs until they hatch.
DAD: It is. And when the eggs hatch, all of the ducklings are called her brood.
CLAIRE: Huh. Neat. Look, dad. The hen’s brood is following her. What’s the hen doing now?
DAD: The hen has to keep her ducklings warm and find food for them.
