'Bridget lives in the sleepy, seaside town of Hinklewinkle. She spends a lot of time with her Grandpa. Her mother often has to work late and her father lives in another town. Luckily, her caring Grandpa is always close at hand to help out.
'Grandpa breeds show chickens and Bridget loves to help out. One day when Bridget is feeling a little lonely, Grandpa lets Bridget pick a chicken of her own.
'Far from selecting the most beautiful chicken, Bridget picks a strange looking rooster she names the “Duke of Hinklewinkle”. The two become inseparable.
'When Grandpa’s cranky old neighbour, Mr Borewater’s chickens are under threat, The Duke of Hinklewinkle surprises everyone.'
