The Old Grey Hen | Farm Animal Stories

The story follows the Old Grey Hen who becomes disillusioned with her life on the farm, questioning her purpose and expressing dissatisfaction with her routine of laying eggs and caring for chicks. Despite attempts by other farm animals—such as Father Goose, Mrs. Duck, and a Greedy Turkey—to either sympathize or find humor in her situation, the Hen decides to change her ways, ceasing to lay eggs or contribute to the farm. Her decision not only brings inconvenience to the other animals but also attracts attention from Farmer Johnson, who eventually determines that she is no longer useful. Consequently, the Old Grey Hen faces an unfortunate end, serving as a cautionary tale about dissatisfaction and the consequences of opting out of communal responsibilities. It subtly hints at themes of dissatisfaction and the communal roles we play, ultimately leading to the Hen's exclusion from the farm's social dynamics.
