This humorous children's short story comes to mind:
Squabbling in the Vegatable Patch (it was an audiobook cassette tape). Contains lots of chicken antics revolving around exactly that.

I still have the original cassette tape from when I was a child and still occasionally play it in my car radio (the only tape player I own).
