The Fox Busters

How can a bunch of chickens fight off a hungry fox? They’re just sitting ducks – well, sitting chickens – aren’t they? But the chickens at Foxearth Farm are different. Thanks to a careless farmer and generations of fox attacks, they’ve evolved into quick-witted, high-flying fox dodgers. Then, just a week after a vicious fox ambush in the water trough, three sisters hatch: Ransome, Sims and Jefferies. They are no ordinary chicks. They know how to fight. They are the legendary Fox Busters!
