Flightless, helpless and often, more than a little silly, chickens are no match for the cunning, merciless foxes stalking their coop. Or are they?

Thanks to a careless farmer and generations of determined foxes, the chickens on Foxearth Farm have evolved into quick-witted, long-legged, high flying fox dodgers. Then, just a week after a vicious fox ambush in the water trough, three sisters are hatched. And Ransome, Sims and Jefferies are no ordinary chicks: they grow up determined to fight back. They are the legendary Fox Busters . . .

From the number one author for animal magic comes this wonderful new edition of a much-loved classic.

This story was good but it had really, really long sentences which made it difficult to follow. My favourite bit of the story is when one of the chickens knocks out the cat with her hard boiled egg!

The chickens might look silly but they managed to do an egg attack. Exciting.
