The story is very basic. It reminds us that chickens are birds. There are billions of chickens today, more than any other bird. And a vast majority of them live on industrial farms and provide us with meat and eggs.
However, another part of the story reminds us that they were once wild and that, like all birds, reproduce using eggs. The last part of the story includes a video of an egg hatching.
