It has been a great week for mothers in their ongoing fight against hungry snakes.

On Monday, a mother rat victoriously fought off a snake in order to protect its young. Now, it's time for a mother chicken to show a snake who's boss.

Late night action, just now. Posted by Sandy Rewald on Sunday, July 3, 2016

Sandy Rewald from Queensland, Australia, captured an intense moment on Sunday in which a snake, believed to be a water python, was snacking on some her chicken's eggs.

But the chicken, named Chook Chook, wasn't going to let her babies be destroyed without a fight. After noticing the snake, Chook Chook fearlessly attacked the snake, successfully driving it away from where she laid her eggs.

Don't mess with Chook Chook.
