Hen

All of the hen remain nameless throughout the entire story. Like most of the animals on the farm, the hens showed up to the meeting. When the rebellion started, all of the animals attacks Mr. Jones and the farmers and chased them out of the farm. The next day, the animals went inside the house to check things out, afterwards, a unanimous decision was made to preserve the house as a museum where no animal shall ever set foot in again. The pigs turned the harness room into their headquarters and from there Snowball created committees for the animals, the Animal Committees. He created the Egg Production Committee for the hens. The reading and writing classes went well, but the hens are stupid animals who can't learn the alphabet past the first letter and can't remember the Seven Commandments by heart. To make memorization easier, Snowball made a short motto which is also the basic principle of Animalism; "Four legs good, two legs bad". Napoleon started selling the hen's eggs to the market to pay for grain and food. When three hens started rebelling, Napoleon ordered that their ratiions be stopped. Nine hens died and were buried. Whymper was told nothing of this.
