Farmer Pickles needs Bob to build a hencoop - his hen has abandoned her eggs under a hedge. Leaving the eggs with Bob, he goes off to find the hen. Bob discovers that he doesn't have enough roofing felt, so he and Muck have to go back to the yard. He asks Spud and Travis to look after the eggs in his absence. Spud decides they need to be warmer, so he wraps them in Farmer Pickles' duvet. But it rips, covering him in feathers. The first chick hatches and assumes Spud is his mother, falling asleep happily in his arms. Bob returns and finishes the coop, and Spud puts the chick and the un-hatched eggs inside. Then Farmer Pickles comes back with the hen, who is just in time to see the rest of her brood hatch. The family is completed by the arrival of the cockerel - who takes a shine to the feather-covered Spud!
