Figaro is hungry and wants an omelet for breakfast. There's a single egg in the fridge but when Figaro grabs it, the egg slips from his hands and breaks.
Outside in the chicken coop, an egg is lying in the nest – guarded by its scary-looking mother hen. Figaro's hunger overcomes his fear and when the hen is outside the coop, he sneaks in.
The mother hen comes back. Figaro pretends to be a chicken!
The hen sets out to teach Figaro all the things a chick must know – scratching; eating worms; flying; and even laying eggs.
When the hen lays another egg, and another chick arrives, Figaro realizes there may not be enough room in the coop for the three of them.
