Synopsis

A hen shows up at the chicken coop in her brand new WAAC outfit; now all the "girls" want to join. They flock (sorry!) to the recruiting office and all turn out to parade in their new uniforms, leaving Mr. Rooster at home to rule the roost and watch the eggs all by himself. The eggs hatch, and there's little chickies running everywhere and he's about to lose his mind. As if this weren't bad enough, a group of foxes try to get the kids and the rooster fights them off valiantly. Just when the foxes have picked up the coop, rooster and all, and flown (sorry again!) with it, the WAACs come to the rescue with their army jeeps and machine guns. At one point, the rooster, obviously eggsasperated (oh, it was too good to pass up), whacks his head against the wall, and in another scene, he clucks and sputters and squawks agitatedly directly at the camera, as though he were telling us all his troubles; no matter where he turns, the little chickies are there, and everytime he tries to sit down, they burrow under his feathered butt.
