Chicks and Hens, Rhymes and Songs

I'm a Little Chick
(Tune: I'm a Little Teapot)
Adapted by Jolanda Garcia, KidsSoup, Inc.

I'm a little chick inside an egg;
I’m slowly growing from head to leg.
Soon you'll hear a knocking, pecking sound;
The egg will crack - and I’ll pop out!

Cluck, Cluck Red Hen
(Tune: Baa-Baa Black Sheep)

Cluck, cluck red hen
Have you any eggs?
Yes sir! Yes sir!
As many as your legs!

One for your breakfast
And one for your lunch!
Come back tomorrow,
I'll have another bunch!

Cluck, cluck red hen,
Have you any eggs?
Yes sir! Yes sir!
As many as your legs!

This Little Chick

This little chick ate corn today. (Hold up thumb.)
This little chick ate worms, they say. (Hold up first finger.)
This little chick ate yellow meal. (Hold up second finger.)
This little chick ate a potato peel. (Hold up third finger.)
And this little chick like a fluffy ball, (Hold up fourth finger.)
Ate a teeny, tiny, bit of all!
Corn today! Worms they say!
Yellow meal! Potato peel!

Eggs come in many sizes.
Eggs hold some big surprises,
Speckled, brown, white, or blue.
Eggs hold babies that are new.
Chicks from eggs are fluffy yellow,
Chicks from eggs are funny fellows!

Chook-chook, chook-chook-chook,
Good morning, Mrs. Hen!

And two of them are speckled red,
The nicest in the town.
