Did you know September is National Chicken Month? I didn’t either– but what I DO know is that Chickens are one of my favorite animals! In fact, I have four chickens: Dotty, Dorothy, Roberta, and Amelia.
Since chickens are one of the most entertaining animals around, I thought it would be fun to ask all of our cartoonists to send me their chicken pictures and chicken stories!

How To Write A Comic Strip: 15 Steps (with Pictures)
This is based on those “Why did the chicken cross the road?” jokes, but I had to explain to a couple of people. I like chickens too. I didn’t know that they like to eat figs, but when I saw 6 of them in my friend’s fig tree, I figured that they must. They really looked amazing, and had climbed up pretty far on the tree.
I, too, love chickens! Had a brood of hens for a while growing up back in Florida. It was great having fresh eggs every day and my sister and I sold the rest to neighbors.
And I love drawing them in my cartoons . . . they are regulars in “Pluggers” and “Shoe, ” and back in my editorial cartooning years, Chicken Little carried the message a number of times.

I also love drawing and painting them more “realistically” . . . they have such character and charm, and make a wonderful subject matter.
Not many recall that the infamous dodos in “Safe Havens” were created when Samantha genetically transformed a commonplace rooster and a hen.
Since the setting of the Barney Google and Snuffy Smith comic strip is very rural, and Snuffy and Loweezy have farm animals, chickens are an important member of the supporting cast! Along with cows and pigs, chickens appear very frequently. Sometimes even in church, as this strip illustrates!

When it was still there the next day, Kerry took action. She called Animal Care and Control, who informed her that, sorry, they do not handle domesticated animals, but here is the number for the Humane Society.
Kerry called the Humane Society, told the woman on the other end about the 48-hour rogue chicken, as well as her concern that it might be hungry, and waited for her response.

Kerry broke the news to her team of teachers. She then looked out the window and saw the high school math teacher trying to corner the chicken in the parking lot. Feathers flew while the chicken flapped its wings and ran away from him.
