After a state of repression and certain death inside the chicken farm, the rookie cock and ginger chicken decided to help the friends rebel against Ms. Tweedy to escape the persecution of the farm owners. Rocky and Ginger try to lead their fellow chickens on a mission to escape the killers and the farm that causes them permanent agony.
