Synopsis

Kids show based on farm animals. Kids won eggs rather than points and the show ended with a rather silly egg hunt, notable because the clock was a giant decending hen above the nest where the kids put their eggs, and they could "boost up their bantam" (i.e. earn some extra time) by answering questions correctly. We bet he said "start the cluck!" as well.

Trivia
