Chicken in the Rough is a 1951 animated short starring Chip 'n' Dale. It is Chip 'n' Dale's first solo cartoon together, and the footage is reused from the Silly Symphony short, Farmyard Symphony (1938). In the short film, Chip 'n' Dale wander into a farmyard to collect acorns. Dale mistakes an egg for a nut, but when he tries to demonstrate to a newly hatched chick how to get back into the egg, a rooster mistakes him for one of his chicks, much to Chip's amusement.
Plot
Chip 'n' Dale are gathering nuts; the nuts fall into the chicken pen. When Dale is playing around with some eggs, one hatches. The chick leaves, and Dale has to pretend to be a chick to avoid the wrath of the rooster.
