This morning, panic reigns in the chicken coop. Marcel, the white rooster, has disappeared. The hens are convinced it's a dirty trick by the fox. Lately, her incessant attacks have become unbearable.
The hens decide to resist. The black, red, and white ones unite to take action. But how will they organize? In battalions? By color? By size? Who will be at the front line of the new army? The blacks? Their rooster has a wonderful speech. The whites want to avenge the disappearance of their beloved Marcel. But why should a male lead the battalion?
A clever and funny story about power, democracy, and the individual's place in society, which concludes in the most entertaining way!
