There's also a wonderful poem about a chicken who is swept off the deck of a full-rigged ship in the Sunda Strait and is happily rescued. It's called "Hen Overboard."

Nautical singer Bob Webb [& Craig Edwards & Helen Richmond Webb] recorded an entire CD of chicken-related songs ["Cluck Old Hen: Celebrating 150 Years of the Rhode Island Red"] just recently [2004] but failed to include the one above.

Cheerily,
