This animated short is about a minute shorter than most of them.
The hens are gossiping and needling poor old "Prissy" about trying to lay an egg again. Apparently, she had never been successful.
Foghorn Leghorn is nearby resting up against a tree, and he overhears the conversation. "Why do those cackling old biddies have to be so mean to that skinny old hen," he wonders. He decides to help her, so he finds an egg and puts it "under her britches." The old hen sees the egg and shouts in ecstasy! The other hens come running.
The egg hatches and it's a rooster, and Foghorn does not want any competition, especially after the newborn says to him, "Hey, you must be that rooster I'm taking over for!"
Foghorn gets permission to tutor the little one, and does what he can to eliminate the competition, but that baby rooster is amazing!
Overall, very clever and fun to watch.
