'Chickens?' gasps Betty MacDonald when her husband Don buys a little farm in the mountains 'Who, us?' shriek teenagers Anne and Joan when asked to help. But they find themselves surrounded by chicks and everyone has to move fast. To Anne, with her eyes on a good-looking neighbour boy named Thad, this is fun. But how long will it remain fun to get up at four, put the coffee on, go out to the chicks again? In winter, their only entertainment is to sit with the catalogue studying plumbing ads. As failure threatens the chicken farm Betty is finally ready to give up, but there is a funny, tender scene in which they realize that they are not quitters after all.
