Trading with the outside world, the pigs reach an agreement with Mr. Whymper to sell him a certain number of eggs on a weekly basis. How do the hens rebel against this decision and what's the final outcome of the rebellion? What do you learn about NNapole

Napoleon was selling an enormous amount of eggs to the humans, which the hens weren't happy about. The hens rebel by laying their eggs in the rafters so that the eggs smash on the floor. Napoleon stops the hens’ rations and makes feeding a hen punishable by death. Nine hens die, supposedly of coccidiosis, during the five-day strike, after which the hens surrender.
