Boudicca the Black hen just wants to be a mother hen, just like all of her friends in the Devis Nest Farm Hen House. With a little bit of help from Farmer Brad and Farmer Adam her dream finally comes true. But all is not as it seems because Boudicca's new baby is very different to all the other new chicks. The story explores the concept of Motherhood, surrogacy and the strength of a mother's love that ultimately overrides genetic inheritance and raises the mother and child bond to one of deep love and total acceptance.
