Charlotte and the forty hens in the farmyard are tired of being the only ones to tidy the nest, hatch the eggs, and watch over the chicks, while Hadoc the rooster and the chickens lounge around and strut about with their crests in the air. The hens protest, drowning out the rooster’s morning crowing with their clucking and going on strike. This silences Hadoc, who agrees to negotiate. This gives the author an opportunity to play on poultry-related words and the illustrator a chance to create a gallery of hilarious portraits of gallinaceous birds.
