About This Book

A series of short, gently humorous tales set on a country poultry farm follows hens, ducks, geese, turkeys and other barnyard birds through everyday episodes: the sale of the farm, arrival of new owners, spring hatchings, building of a poultry-house, nest quarrels, runaways and illness, and small community celebrations. Presented as lively vignettes from animal perspectives, the stories emphasize kindness, practical care, cooperation, and simple moral lessons while offering light domestic comedy for young readers.
