The Speckled Hen is the mother of Prince Humpty Dumpty in the Mother Goose Stories episode "Humpty Dumpty". She lives in a barn near the king's royal palace and laid a batch of a dozen eggs. One of the hen's eggs was extraordinarily large. It was the prince of all eggs, and so she decided to name it "Prince Humpty Dumpty". When the hen leaves to tell her friends of her gigantic accomplishment, the other eggs in the nest jealously push their brother out of the nest.
