What happens

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.
