The chickens come out

Scratch, scratch, eating up all the wheat

The children giggle

*

When the sun comes up

Chickens come out from roosting

Chasing down the bugs

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

When the sunrises

The chickens wake-up

The rooster crows

Cock-a doodle-doo

Waking the farmer up

The farmer’s children go out

And feed the chickens their grain

Scratch, scratch, scratch

Cluck, cluck, cluck

Goes the hen

Cheep, cheep, cheep

The chicks run around crazy

The chickens chase a grasshopper

The chicks find a worm

As the sun starts to set

The chickens go home and roost

All in the day of the life of a chicken

** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** ** **

With buckets full of wheat seeds

*

The children giggle as they feed

**

Chickens and chicks gather all around.

***

Scratch, scratch, scratch, cluck, cluck, cluck

****

The chicks peep out from under.

*****

Clawed talons scratching up the seeds.
