That’s it.

This is our way out of here.

We’ll make posters?

No, What’s on the poster, Babs.

What’s on the poster.

We’ll fly out

He must be very important to have his picture taken.

What do you suppose he does?

lsn’t it obvious?

He’s a professional flying rooster.

He flies from farm to farm, giving demonstrations.

Do you suppose?

Oh, absolutely.

Not in the dark, no.

No, not in there.

No.

Get out.

Good, Gotta get

Who are you?

Where am l?

What’s goin’ on?

Ouch What happened to my wing?

You took a rather nasty fall.

And sprained the anterior tendon connecting your radius to your humerus.

l gave it a wee bit of a tweak, Jimmy, and wrapped her up.

Was that English?

She said you sprained your wing.

She fixed it.

l made the bandage.

l carried you in.

Whoa, Whoa, Whoa Whoa.

Let’s back up and start from the top.

Where am l?

You’re right.

How rude of us.

We’re just very excit

This is a chicken farm.

And we’re the chickens.

Yeah, with you so far.

Chicken farm, chickens

l don’t like the look of this one.

His eyes are too close together.

Father, please.

And he’s a Yank

Easy, Pops.

Cockfighting’s illegal where l come from.

And where is that exactly?

Just a little place l call the land of the free and the home of the brave.

Scotland No America.

Oh America.

Poppycock.

Pushy Americans.

Always showing up late for every war.

Overpaid, oversexed and over here

What’s eatin’ Grandpa?

Oh, don’t mind him, Mister Mister?

The name’s Rocky.

Rocky the Rhode lsland Red.

Rhodes for short.

Rocky Rhodes?

Catchy, ain’t it?

Um, Mr Rhodes, is this you?

Uh, who wants to know?

A group of rather desperate chickens.

You see, if it is you, then you just might be the answer to our prayers.

Well, then, call me a miracle, doll face, ‘cause that’s me.

And what brings you to England, Mr Rhodes?

Why, all the beautiful English chicks, of course.

Give over

You see, l’m a traveler by nature.

l did that whole barnyard thing for a while, but l couldn’t really get into it.

Hi How are you?

Nope.

The open road.

That’s more my style.

Yep, just give me a pack on my back and point me where the wind blows.

In fact, you know what they call me back home?

You’re gonna love this.

The Lone Free Ranger.

Isn’t that great?

l knew it was possible.

Oh, it’s possible, all right.

l knew the answer would come.

Amen

We’re all going to fly over that fence, and Mr Rhodes is going to show us how, right?

That’s What?

Did you say ‘‘fly’’?

You can teach us.

No, l can’t.

Listen.

Shh.

You hear that?

That’s the open road calling my name, and l was born to answer that call.

Bye.

He must have very good hearing.

Okay, okay, where’s the exit?

Ah, this way.

Mr. Rhodes, um, perhaps l didn’t explain our situation properly.

We lay eggs day in and day out,

and when we can’t lay any more, they kill us.

It’s a cruel world, doll face.

You might as well get used to it.

Which part of ‘‘they kill us’’ do you not understand?

l got my own set of problems to worry about.

Besides, this birdcage can’t be that hard to bust out of.

ln fact, watch me.

It’s not so hard to get one chicken out of here or even two,

but this is about all of us.

All of you?

That’s what l’ve been trying to tell you.

Wait a minute.

Let me get this straight.

You want to get every chicken in this place out of here at the same time?

Of course.

You’re certifiable.

You can’t pull off a stunt like that.

That’s suicide.

Where there’s a will, there’s a way.

Couldn’t agree more.

l will be leaving that way.

But

Mr Rhodes?

I’m the type of guy Please

That likes to roam around l’m never in one

So that’s it.

You’re from the circus.

Shh

You’re on the run, aren’t you?

You wanna keep it down?

l’m trying to lay low here.

I should turn you in right now.

You wouldn’t.

Would you?

Give me one reason why l shouldn’t.

Because l’m cute?

Hey, hey, hey What kind of crazy chick are you?

Do you know what’ll happen if he finds me?

It’s a cruel world.

l just decided.

l don’t like you.

l just decided.

l don’t care.

Now, show us how to fly.

With this wing?

Teach us then.

No

He’s valuable, you say?

Sure Get the torch.

Now you listen here, sister.

l’m not going back to that life.

l’m a Lone Free Ranger.

Emphasis on free

And that’s what we want.

Freedom

Fancy that.

They’re coming this way.

Oh, oh, no No

They’re on to me.

Teach us to fly and we’ll hide you.

And if l don’t?

Was your father by any chance a vulture?

Do we have a deal?

Time to make good on that deal, doll

The name is Ginger.

Comfortable?

Not really.

Maybe this will help.

Nice hideout.

Ouch l had more room in my egg.

We’ve held up our end of the deal.

Tomorrow you hold up yours.

What deal?

The flying

Yeah, yeah, yeah.

Right, right, right.

Don’t worry.

l’ll teach you everything l know.

Now, which bunk is mine?

Absolutely outrageous

Asking a senior officer to share his quarters.

and with a noncommissioned Yank, no less.

Why, back in my day, l’d never Hey

You weren’t exactly my first choice either.

And scoot over.

Your wing’s on my side of the bunk.

Your side of the bunk?

The whole bunk is my side of the bunk

Just What’s that smell?

Is that your breath?

It’s absolutely outrageous.

So you wanna fly, huh?

Well, it ain’t gonna be easy, and it ain’t gonna happen overnight either.

You see, flying takes three things.

Hard work, perseverance and

Hard work.

You said hard work twice

That’s because it takes twice as much work as perseverance.

Codswallop

Now, the most important thing is we have to work as a team,

which means.

you do everything l tell you.

Right Let’s rock and roll.

Oh, Oh, oh, Oh, Oh, oh.

Mrs Tweedy The chickens are

Pecking?

And left, two, three.

And right, two, three.

And stop right there.

Oh, yeah, down.

Down

Yeah, yeah, make little circles.

That’s it.

Faster.

Faster.

Oh, yes Perfect.

Oh, that’s the spot.

I thought you were going to teach us how to fly.

That’s what l’m doing.

lsn’t there usually some flapping involved?

Hey, do l tell you how to lay eggs?

Relax.

We’re making progress.

Really?

l can’t help feeling we’re going around in circles.

What the Hey Cut it out You’re making me dizzy.

l think they’re ready to fly now.

Good, because they certainly can’t walk anymore.

Up and at ‘em, gals.

Let’s flap.

Watch, Fetcher.

Let’s see if old Attila the Hen has come to her senses.

It’s raining hen

It’s a positive thing.

Just keep the faith there, uh What was your name?

Okay, the ground’s shaking.

Are we worried?

The circus.
