Chickens

Chickens (tune of I'm a Little Teapot)

My mother is a big brown hen
She turns around and counts to ten
Ten little chicks all in a row
We'll be hens when we start to grow.

Chook, Chook

Chook, chook, chook, chook, chook,
Good morning, Mrs. Hen.
How many chickens have you got?
Madam, I've got ten.
Four of them are yellow,
And four of them are brown,
And two of them are speckled red,
The nicest in the town.

Ethel's Eggs

Ethel was a hen who laid ten eggs
Each chick hatched and had two legs
They would play and have their fun
But when Ethel called, they would come

Hatching Chicks

Five eggs and five eggs
Are underneath a hen.
Five eggs and five eggs,
And that makes ten.
The hen keeps the eggs warm for three long weeks.
Snap go the shells with tiny little beaks.
Crack, crack the shells go.
The chickies everyone
Fluff out their feathers
In the warm spring sun.

Six Young Roosters

Six young roosters began to play;
When all of a sudden, one ran away.
Five young roosters began to crow;
When all of a sudden, one hurt his toe.
Four young roosters went to the fair,
When all of a sudden, one wasn't there.
Three young roosters, and just as I feared,
All of a sudden, one disappeared!
Two young roosters pecked on the ground;
When all of a sudden, one couldn't be found.
One young rooster went to his nest;
When all of a sudden, he found all the rest.

Ten Fluffy Chickens

Five eggs and five eggs
That makes ten.
Sitting on top is the mother hen.
Crackle, crackle, crackle;
What do I see?
Ten fluffy chickens
As yellow as can be.

This Little Chick

This little chick was the first to hatch.
This little chick found a place to scratch.
This little chick made her two eyes blink.
This little chick took a long, cool drink.
This little chick cried, "Peep, peep!"
This little chick went fast to sleep.
The mother called to the tiny things,
And they all crept under her warm, soft wings.
