Jeffery Hen decided she would just wait till everybody come home for the day and surprise them with the baby. In the meanwhile, she decided she would enjoy the baby all by herself. She cuddled the baby and kissed on it, all of the time. She said, "Randall Junior, I am going to let your daddy announce your arrival tomorrow." Jeffery Hen knew everybody in the neighborhood was over at Henry's place be-count of the three boys they have.
Shortly, before the sun went down, in came Roo, Bear and Panda. Jeffery Hen tried to act like nothing had happened, she grinned a big grin. Roo said, "What are you smiling about."
Jeffery Hen laughed, "Guess what happened."
Roo said, "The big egg hatched?"
She got up from her nest and Roo looked inside of it and saw the baby. To everyone's surprise he flew out of the hen house and up to the top of the treetop. "Jeffery Hen's egg has hatched!" But everybody was all home for the night. Roo said to himself, "I guess everybody has had a day with those three boys."
Roo flew down out of the tree and went back home. When he got back into the hen house he told Jeffery Hen, "I will spoil the baby tomorrow, I have crowed all day."
That night the baby chirped all night, keeping the family awake. Roo finally decided to sleep out in the tree and so did Bear. The next morning when the sun came up all Roo had to do was just crow. When he did all of the hens gathered over at his house to look at the baby.
