The hen is a weak, faint-hearted domestic animal. This is why when appearing in your dream it denotes lack of responsibility and self-confidence, weakness, fear and inability to deal with difficult tasks and problems. If a hen populates your dream, you should also consider the phrase 'to be/ feel henpecked', therefore cowardice and continual fear of being hunted, pursued, harassed by stronger or more influent individuals.

The hen in dreams also stands for an individual who likes gossip and to indulge in never-ending discussions or bragging about minor, trivial things.

Another interpretation of the dream image of the domestic animal relates to the mother hen which must be associated with the mother figure or motherly love and overall, domestic peace and happiness. You love your family and your family loves you, you treasure every moment spent close to your relatives. In conclusion, you have homemaking skills and nesting instincts. Like the broody hen which sits on its eggs and protects them from enemies, you fell protected and secure when you are with your family.

Also, if in your dream you see the image of a hen surrounded by many chicks, this stands for future happy times and fortune in your waking life.

If you kill a hen in your dream this means that you are going to involuntarily harm yourself. Also, a hen with its feathers ripped off seen in a dream symbolizes an individual who is used by the others to attain their own interests or someone who has thoughtlessly and foolishly spent their money.
