Summary

This quote reflects the imbalanced and disarrayed state of a household. It suggests that when the hen, a female bird, creates more noise and asserts dominance over the traditionally dominant male bird, the cock, there is a lack of order and structure.

It emphasizes the importance of a balanced power dynamic for harmony within a household or any social setting.
