Synopsis

All is well in the barnyard until some loose eggs from a hen get into Pluto's doghouse and hatch. The dozens of baby chicks think that Pluto is their mother, and they follow the recalcitrant pooch everywhere. He eventually feels sorry for them and becomes their protector. Meanwhile, the mother hen returns to discover all her eggs hatched and the chicks long gone. She engages the rooster to reclaim the chicks from Pluto, who now covets them as his brood. The rooster wins, but the chicks return to Pluto in the doghouse and cuddle with him.
