Egg farmer Chuck Poulette’s pride and joy chicken, “Dottie,” capable of laying ten eggs a week, is missing! When Chuck puts up a $50 reward, feathers fly as a weird assortment of people, including a medium to the sprits of dead chickens, a chicken rights activist, and a young man who believes he was a chicken in a previous life, flock to Chuck’s aid to help find poor lost “Dottie.”
