The Big Dictionary of Dreams
by Martha Clarke
Since immemorial times, the hen is a symbol of superficiality because of its clucking and passivity.
It is no coincidence that the hen is associated with rumors, whispers, and slander. Therefore, the presence of a hen in your dreams may suggest that someone is making malicious comments about you behind your back. A totally different sense arises if you dream of a hen laying an egg. In these cases, the dream images portend a profit in short time. This dream can also be attributed to excessive concern for your partner, children, or friends to the point of becoming a “mother hen.”
The Complete Guide to Interpreting Your Dreams
by Stearn Robinson - Tom Corbett
A black hen signifies sad news, a white one glad news, a brown one promises money luck, a fat one prophesies gain, a lean one mediocrity, a clucking one exciting gossip, and a pecking hen means you may have to back up and start again.
A laying hen indicates prosperity: killing a hen forecasts ups and downs; and plucking one warns of an unexpected demand on your finances.
