Subject: RE: Songs about chickens
There is also a pipe march "The Hen's March" (no relation to the "to the midden" one) and a pipe tune "The Cockerel in the Creel". The story behind that one is that when the composer was a boy, his strict Presyterian mother tried to stop their cockerel from making un-Christian noises on the Sabbath by caging it in a lobster creel. The cockerel didn't think much of this and said so, the resulting sounds being the basis of the tune.
