Chickens keep their eggs war m by sittting on them and only get up to eat and drink once a day. The c hickens in this book are called bantams. The brown hen and white hen are frizzle bantams. Frizzle is a mutation in which the feathers grow so th at they curve outward, instead of lying smoothly along the bird's body.< /p> Rebecca Johnson, has written more than 40 Steve Parish Story Book s featuring Australian animals.
