Charity is a new hen in the hen house. She doesn't quite look like all the other hens, and Willow the cat makes her aware of that. Willow leads Charity to think that perhaps she is an owl, a bird, or even a duck. Charity tries to fit in but quickly realizes she doesn't have the skills of the others. She finds that she doesn't need to be concerned that she looks different from all the other hens. What she looks like is not what makes her a hen.
