Clucky the Hen is back on her new adventure! Howard the talent-spotting owl causes pandemonium when he arrives at Clucky the Hen's farm... now everyone wants to show off their skills! But who will be the one to impress him?

Everything is quiet on the farm, and Clucky and her farmyard friends go through their usual daily routine on what seems to be a normal day. But it isn't! Rumor has it, Howard, the owl is on his way to meet them! Howard is a world-famous talent scout, known for seeking near and far, discovering new talents, and making them big stars. Many singers and magicians, dancers, acrobats, mimes, and a roller-skating musician shot to stardom thanks to him! The animals are all aflutter and eager to demonstrate their gifts and abilities. Who will be the new talent to dazzle Mr. Howard? Soon, the farm is upside down with people singing, magic tricks, theater shows... Meanwhile, our friendly Clucky the Hen stays away from all the fuss and doesn't seem to care, and she focuses on her chicks. But she will not go unnoticed by Howard the owl...
