Meet Chick. Chick likes running around in the sunshine, squabbling with her sisters and pecking tasty treats with her pointy beak. And she loves to CLUCK CLUCK CLUCK.

But Chick has a secret . . . Before she could do ANY of these things, she was just one of a dozen eggs nestled in the cosiest corner of the hen house. So how did that egg come to be Chick?

Join Chick on an adorable adventure, full of facts about the different life stages of chicks – from egg to chick to pullet to hen – and watch the life cycle begin all over again.
