Sherlock Chick, newly hatched and already donning a detective's hat, faces his first mystery: the missing corn from his parents' feed bin. With a magnifying glass in hand, he follows a trail of clues, questioning farm animals to uncover the truth. Can this pint-sized sleuth crack the case and return the corn to its rightful place? Join Sherlock Chick on a charming adventure filled with twists and turns as he proves that even the smallest detective can solve the biggest mysteries.
