In this story from "Looney Tunes and Merrie Melodies" #121 (Dell, November 1951), Porky Pig and his nephew, Cicero, are walking through the park and discover that someone has been stealing eggs from a group of nesting chickens and replacing them with duck, owl and turtle eggs. After asking Beaky Buzzard and his son, Bernard, about the problem, they discover that the culprit is Daffy Duck, who wants the chicken eggs to hard-boil and sell.
