A story about barnyard animals that go on strike to demand better working conditions. The cows find an old typewriter in the barn, and to the farmer's fury, they type messages to him: "Dear Farmer Brown. The barn is very cold at night. We'd like some electric blankets. Sincerely, The Cows." When he refuses their request, they put up a notice: "Sorry. We're closed. No milk today." The hens are cold, too, so they join the cows--no eggs, either. There...

A young fly discovers, day by day, that there is a lot to learn about being an insect, including the dangers of flypaper and that heroes come in all shapes and sizes.

While Farmer Brown sleeps, his animals prepare for a talent show at the county fair.

A hard-bitten former search-and-rescue dog helps solve a complicated missing chicken case.

There’s more trouble on the farm, but Duck has nothing to do with it, for once. This time the trouble is a four-ounce puff of fluff who just won’t go to sleep, and whose play-with-me “peeps” are keeping the whole barnyard awake with him.

Farmer Brown does not like Halloween, but the animals hold a Halloween party in his barn.

The annual Corn Maze Festival is coming and everyday the chickens, cows, and Duck help Farmer Brown--with a few bribes--to create a special Statue of Liberty corn maze, and every night Duck works hard recreating his own surprise.

Our fluffy, fearless young detectives are back out sleuthing because there’s a new cage in the yard, and the Chicken Squad is determined to figure out just who this new addition is. Because whatever it is, it’s definitely up to no good. So equipped with the latest surveillance gear—which apparently includes copious amounts of marshmallows—the chicks venture into the wild to get answers.

The Chicken Squad uncovers mysterious remains while digging a meteor/storm shelter, and they stop work to investigate just as a big storm is approaching.

Nora's looking forward to riding the Cyclone, the world famous Coney Island rollercoaster, and drags her cousin Riley on the ride despite her heart condition. After they disembark, Riley falls to the ground ... and doesn't get up. When Riley comes out of her coma, she can't talk, can't even go to the bathroom by herself. Guilt stricken, Nora is determined to get Riley 100% back to normal.
