[Flames roaring]
Voila! Instant speed bump.
No hot-wheelin' grannies
Are gonna turn my friends into road k*ll.
- Car!
- Watch as the speed bump 'causes the observant driver
To reduce his speed.
- Yes, the fossil dig went splendidly.
I found a triceratops femur,
A bronto skull,
And some sort of giant egg.
Hold on. Speed bump.
[Engine revs]
Yee-ha-ha-ha-ha!
- [All cheering]
- Yeah.
Who knew safety could get such wicked air?
- Hey, something fell off that truck.
- Sweet cud, it's a giant chicken egg.
- Hey, yeah. - A giant chicken?
- Careful, otis.
My mama always said,
"Never touch an oversized chicken egg."
- Why would she say that?
- She was crazy.
- Oh, that poor, little lost egg.
What are we gonna do, otis?
- I'll tell you what we're gonna do.
We're gonna bring it back to the barnyard and hatch it.
- You know, I'm not sure that's a very good--
- Quiet! Otis is right.
We have to hatch it.
Hatch it, otis. Hatch it!
Ow.
- Guys, a giant chicken
Would make a great addition to the barnyard.
We need a fifth for polo,
And I can finally have a jousting partner.
[Trumpet fanfare]
[All chattering]
- Later that day, otis hatched the plan.
Get it?
It's an egg episode, and I said "hatched."
I'm lonely!
- Hens!
Oh, good, you're awake.
Listen, I need about or of you
To sit on this giant egg until it hatches.
So come on! Who's in?
I want to see some warm heinies.
Ah!
Oof!
Ow.
I'm gonna call him plucky.
- Now who's gonna keep it warm? - Me!
I want to hatch the giant chicken!
I'm very hungry-- I mean, nurturing.
- Yeah, no.
Come on, plucky.
I'll hatch you myself.
- I'm available for babysitting.
- Ah! - Really, I'm very cheap.
- I don't like you.
- Every night of the week, I'll be there.
- Come on, plucky. - Hey, wait up!
- ♪ Giant egg, giant egg ♪
♪ Nice and warm 'neath my utters ♪
- Otis, you've been sitting on that egg for hours.
- That's when all the emotional bonding begins.
Hey, he's kicking!
Squee!
Who wants to feel? Who wants to feel?
- Oh, it's a miracle.
I'll pass.
- Oh, I'll feel, I'll feel.
- Yeah, not so much you.
- Okay. - Wow, otis.
You're really getting into this fatherhood thing.
- You know, I can't explain it.
I have always dreamed of being a dad.
- Since when?
- Eh, couple minutes ago. - Uh-huh.
- By the way, how many fingers does a giant chicken have?
- Ooh, did someone say "chicken fingers"?
Ooh.
- The next day, things really got cracking.
Get it?
Otis is sitting on an egg, and I said "cracking."
A-ha! Oh, forget it.
- [Snoring]
- Me-me-me-me-me.
- [Snoring]
- Guys, guys! He's hatching!
- It's time. It's time.

- Everyone, say hello to the newest member of the barnyard,
Plucky.
All: aw.
- Ew.
- [Roars]
[All screaming]
- Dude, that's no giant chicken.
That's a godzilla.
- Ah! Keep it away.
Get back! Get back!
- Oh, look. He's hungry.
- Otis, that's a dinosaur.
We can't keep him on the barnyard.
- He's vicious.
- And doesn't look very edible.
- Come on, guys, don't hate him because he's different.
We all have our little foibles.
Freddy wants to eat his best friend.
- Pig has an obsession with face-painting.
- You can't prove that.
- Pip's in love with someone times his size.
And abby says funny-sounding hillbilly things all day.
- That's as wrong as a one-eyed swamp gobbler.
- See? So what do you say?
Let's give plucky a chance to fit in.
- Well, I suppose we could give him a chance.
- At least until the farmer gets back from anger management camp.
- Yeah?
This is what I think of your sharing stick!
Uh! Not so pretty now, huh?
What are you looking at, jerky?
How was that?
- Oh, all right. - He can stay.
- We'll give him a chance. - Thanks, guys.
I promise that by this time tomorrow,
You'll love plucky as much as I do.
Ah! Oh, how cute.
He's teething.
Get the bandages.
- The next morning, the animals all went over to my house
For french toast.
Wait, hold on. That was just in my mind.
Lonely people have vivid fantasy lives.
- Morning, everyone.
- [Yawns]
[All gasp]
All: plucky?
- [Roars]
- He's huge.
- Morning, guys. Did you notice?
Little plucky had a growth spurt.
- Otis, he's feet tall.
- He could eat us.
- What? My son will not eat you.
I have raised him to be very well behaved.
Watch. [Blows whistle]
Boom!
- Oh, forget this.
[Blows whistle]
Ah!
- And he can fetch.
- Ah!
Crash!
Nah-- ah!

- Otis, those are a bunch of dog tricks.
- Dogs, kids, dinosaurs; all they want is our love.
- Otis, that dinosaur is a menace.
- He's gonna get us all exposed.
- He's so not a chicken.
- Guys, please, not in front of plucky.
Now, if you want to talk about this,
I'm good a week from tuesday between--
All: now!
- Oh, fine.
Wait here, plucky.
Daddy's gonna go talk to the nice mean people.

Sorry, guys, I'm afraid you can't stay here anymore.

The most deadly blood worm of all.
He will devastate your barnyard.

Look, your little schoolyard taunts don't work on me,
So why don't you just dive back into your hole

Just so puppies will play with you.

I'm a nice guy.
Why do I have to hang bacon around my neck?

From mommy and daddy blood worm.
- What? No way.
I...i...

It's true.
I tear down others because of my own insecurity.
- Let it out. Let it out.
Maybe now you realize that name-calling
Diminishes us all.
- You're right.
I've been hurtful.
Maybe there can be peace between our people.
- Sounds like a certain worm needs a hug.

- There, there.

All: aw.

I hereby proclaim a royal celebration
Of peace and face-painting.
