Reading Rainbow: My Little Hen / My Hen has Laid an Egg

This is the closing credits sequence to a 1987 episode of Reading Rainbow featuring the book "Rumpelstiltskin" and the Agoura Hills, CA Renaissance Pleasure Faire. (I think it still airs?).

Here we see performers from the fair close the show out with this ode to hardworking hens everywhere.

But you don't have to take my word for it! Da-dun-dunh!
