Short Poems about Chickens
1. The Clucking Star
Before you read this poem, know that it’s all about a chicken with dreams of fame. Yes, even our feathered friends have aspirations. Our leading chicken wants nothing more than to be the brightest star in the coop.
In the coop of rust and hay,
A chicken dreamed of Broadway.
While others pecked at corn and seed,
She dreamed of standing tall, indeed.
“Cluck, cluck,” she’d say, with jazz hands wide,
“Move over, hens, make room to glide!”
She practiced lines, both old and new,
Imagined signs that said, “Debut!”
So let’s all cheer for dreams so grand,
For every bird in this great land.
Remember well this tale, my friend,
For every cluck has its own end.
2. The Rooster’s Alarm
This poem describes the morning routine of a rooster who takes his job very seriously. Sometimes, punctuality is a trait that’s highly underrated, even in the chicken world.
With sunrise near, he stood on post,
This rooster prouder than most.
“Time to rise!” was his decree,
“Wake up, all! It’s dawn, you see!”
Not a second late, nor early by chance,
This rooster loved his wake-up dance.
Feathers puffed, he took his stage,
“Good morning, world! It’s a brand new page!”
Clocks are neat, but not required,
For this bird was truly wired.
Come rain or shine, snow or hail,
His morning clucks would never fail.
3. The Egg-sistential Hen
Ever wondered if chickens have deep thoughts? This poem delves into the mind of a hen who ponders the big questions in life, particularly about the eggs she lays.
In the coop of simple means,
Lived a hen with giant dreams.
Not of corn, nor bugs to eat,
But thoughts so deep, they can’t be beat.
“Why do I lay eggs?” she’d think,
While sipping on her water drink.
“Do they bring me joy or fame?
Is there more to this egg game?”
Yet each day, without fail,
She’d lay an egg, small and frail.
For in her ponder, she found bliss,
Life’s not just to be, but to egg-sist.
4. Chicken Runway
This poem is dedicated to a chicken with a flair for fashion. Decked out in feathers of all hues, she struts her stuff like a runway model. Turns out, the farm can be just as glamorous as any fashion week.
Strutting down the coop’s own lane,
This hen’s got style, make no mistake.
Feathers fluffed in colors bold,
She’s the hottest chick, truth be told.
Walks as if the ground’s a stage,
Casting looks that are all the rage.
“See my plumage? Rich and grand,
I’m the chic-est in the land.”
Fashionistas may come and go,
But her glam’s not just for show.
For every cluck and every preen,
Makes her the farm’s eternal queen.
5. The Chicken and The Worm
What happens when a chicken and a worm decide to strike a conversation? This poem explores the unlikely friendship between a chicken and its would-be snack, demonstrating that sometimes, compassion can be found in the most unexpected places.
A worm popped up from earthy bed,
A chicken hovered overhead.
Said the worm, “Please let me be.”
Said the chicken, “Why? I’m hungry, see.”
The worm then spoke of earth and sky,
The chicken listened, wonder in her eye.
“A meal you’d make, yet here’s the twist,
You make a better conversationalist.”
Years passed by, both old and sage,
Lessons learned, they turned the page.
For chicken found in worm a friend,
And that’s a tale with a happy end.
Funny Poems about Chickens
1. The Chicken Who Wanted to Fly
This poem is about a chicken with dreams bigger than the coop—dreams of flight. While chickens aren’t known for their flying abilities, this particular bird won’t let reality clip her wings.
I once knew a chicken, so eager to fly,
She’d flap and she’d jump, reaching for the sky.
Her friends said, “Stop dreaming, we’re not built that way!”
But she just clucked back, “I’ll soar high someday!”
She tried with balloons, tied around her waist,
She even wore goggles, just for a taste.
“Look, I’m an eagle!” she’d loudly proclaim,
Her chicken friends chuckled, it wasn’t the same.
Yet she kept on dreaming, her spirits so high,
For a chicken can dream, even if she can’t fly.
And so goes the tale, of feathers and sky,
Of a chicken who dared to dream really high.
2. The Dancing Hen
This poem portrays a chicken that just can’t resist dancing to the beat. Chickens may not have the moves like Jagger, but this hen sure tries her best.
Meet the hen who loves to groove,
Dancing to her own barnyard move.
Two steps here and a cluck there,
She’s got rhythm, beyond compare.
Waltzing with the farmyard cat,
Doing the twist, imagine that!
Jiving solo under the moon,
She’s the John Travolta of the chicken coop.
So if you hear a beat, near or far,
It’s our dancing hen, the barnyard star.
She proves that fun’s not just for men,
Life’s a dance, just ask the hen.
3. Chatty Chick
This poem is for anyone who’s ever been stuck in a conversation with a real chatterbox. Well, chickens can be chatty too, and this chick’s got a lot to say.
There’s a chick in the yard, who talks all day,
From morning light till skies are gray.
He’s got opinions, and that’s okay,
But, oh, he’s got so much to say!
“Did you hear about the duck? Such news!
And the cows—what terrible moods!”
His endless chat, it never concludes,
Even the rooster says, “Dude, you’re rude.”
He talks and talks, come what may,
He’s got commentary on the hay.
So if you visit, just be prepared to stay,
Chatty Chick’s got a lot to relay.
4. The Secret Agent Chicken
Here’s a poem about a chicken who’s not just any ordinary bird. She’s a secret agent, with missions so covert, even James Bond would be impressed.
Agent Cluck in feathers dressed,
A chicken spy, who is the best.
Her gadgets are the latest find,
A laser beak, to sneak behind.
She tiptoes past the farmer’s door,
Mission: “Find the secret corn store.”
Her chicken friends say, “It’s a fuss,”
Agent Cluck just whispers, “Trust.”
She succeeds, her mission done,
Turns out spying is quite fun.
Back in the coop, her tale’s unsung,
For Agent Cluck’s job’s never done.
5. The Philosopher Chicken
This chicken doesn’t just peck around; he thinks deep thoughts, pondering the universe and life’s mysteries. A feathered philosopher, if you will.
In a coop not too far, lived a bird so bright,
He’d ponder and muse from morning to night.
“Why do we cluck? What’s life all about?”
Questions like these, he’d always spout.
“To be or not to be,” he’d often say,
Or, “Why’s the sky blue, and not chick-grey?”
His coop-mates just shrugged, “What can we say,
You’re weird, Philosopher Chicken, in every way.”
Yet his questions made others begin to think,
About the sky, and life, and why foxes stink.
Philosopher Chicken, so wise and so slick,
Proof you can be brainy, and still be a chick.

This poem takes a light-hearted look at the common practice of eating chicken, from the perspective of a cook ready to prepare a meal. It’s all about the inevitable cycle of life… and dinner.
In the kitchen, pot’s a-boilin’,
Hunger’s grip is tight and coilin’.
On the counter, there you lay,
Sorry, chicken, it’s the way.
Feathers gone, your cluck’s no more,
Ready for a fate you can’t ignore.
A dash of salt, and spices too,
Into the pot, you take your cue.
Don’t be sad, oh bird once free,
You’re part of tonight’s recipe.
In life a chicken, but now you’re grub,
Such is the tale in the food web’s hub.
2. The Chicken Nugget’s Ode
The next poem offers an ode to the chicken nugget, a form of chicken many have come to love. Simple yet iconic, the chicken nugget holds a special place in the heart of fast-food aficionados.
Oh chicken nugget, crisp and gold,
Your tale in fast-food lore is told.
With ketchup, mayo, or alone,
You rule the fast-food, high and thrown.
In tiny bits or shapes so neat,
You are the snack kids love to eat.
A symphony in every bite,
You make fast-food seem so right.
Yet deep inside we all do know,
You’re chicken dressed up for the show.
To you, oh nugget, I must say,
Thanks for being part of our day.
