Chickens Named Doug
A farm can be a big, scary place for a chicken. Just like people, chickens want to be well cared for, protected, have something to eat every day, and feel special. The Coatsworths' Farm would be the perfect farm for a flock of chickens, if it wasn't for that horrible hawk, a pesky fox, and the fact that all of the chickens will have the same name. Who does that to a chicken?! The red-shouldered hawk and the fox don't care what the chickens are called. They just think of them as breakfast, lunch, and dinner. Strutting around the farm all day long sounds like a life of ease, but the chickens learn there is more to life than just sitting on the fence, watching the world go by. And once the chickens learn why they are called Doug, they are in for the adventure of their lives. They are on this farm for a reason, they are special, and there are chickens who need them. It all starts with a loving farmer and his grandson, a rooster like no other, and some neighbors in need.
