Chicken in the Rough is a 1951 animated short starring Chip 'n' Dale. [1] 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.
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.
