why did the hens rebel and what was napoleons punishment for this rebellion?
Napoleon had contracted to sell 400 eggs per week. The hens rebelled, and Napoleon starved them until they conceded. Nine hens died.

They were just getting their clutches ready for the spring sitting, and they protested that to take the eggs away now was murder.
