Lucy (Lucille Ball) decides to earn some extra spending money by going into the chicken-farming business. Ricky (Desi Arnaz) then advertises for an "experienced" couple to help out with this business enterprise -- and wouldn't you know it, that couple turns out to be Fred and Ethel Mertz (William Frawley, Vivian Vance). The fun begins when Lucy and Ethel purchase 500 baby chicks, not bothering to check if Ricky and Fred are finished building the henhouse. ~ Hal Erickson, Rovi
