Things are tough at Foxearth Farm and only the fittest survive. Fox raids are frequent and the results are devastating. Now the only chickens that survive are those that are smarter than the average farmyard fowls - and those that have developed flight! One day, some chicks hatch who are destined to change everything. To the amazement of their parents these three girls fly straight into the air from their shells. They don't just fly; they fly exceedingly well!
Ransome, Sims and Jeffries are naturally gifted aeronauts and are soon the pride of their flock.

They learn how to drop their eggs on the enemy both accurately and on demand. Once they have worked out how to make their eggs harder (eat lots of grit) the scene is set for the battle of Foxearth Farm - on a daily basis!

Whoopi Goldberg, Joanna Lumley and Jane Horrocks are the voices of these three amazing chicks. Music written by Keith Hopwood and Phil Bush.
