Two young hens are chicken napped from the farm they were hatched. After a very scary trip in the trunk of a car the hens arrive at their new home. The coop is brand new. It has new feeding and watering dishes, fresh straw in the nest and no doodle (poop) on the coop floor or roost. The hens love the new forever home, however they can see through the chicken wire the crawling and flying bugs among the fragrant flowers. The hens are hoping soon to be allowed out of the coop to peck and scratch among the flowers and catch a bug.


This is the story of two young hens. They have been purchased by Bright Hair and Ball Cap. Bright Hair and Ball Cap are a middle aged couple who do not have any experience raising chickens and their first mistake is not taking the farmer's advice about naming the hens.
