Exciting chicken story!

My favorite chicken story ever! The foxes want to eat the chickens but---who would have imagined it---the chickens don't want to be eaten. These aren't your standard plump barnyard pets, either, these chickens can read and fly. How can the chickens drive away the foxes? You'll just have to read the book, won't you?!
