Inspired by some of the great parody pages I've seen, I've decided to explore the numerous appearances of chickens in Monkee episodes.

After pouring over episode after episodes, I have discovered that the Monkees absolutly adored chickens. So much so that they often advocated the care of certain species of chickens. (i.e. "Save the Texas Prairie Chicken!")
In fact, may of the Monkees' well known tunes were once completly chickenified. Notice the works below.(Titles in bold are my personal favorites)

"Don't Look a Gift Horse In the Mouth":
In a confused and dazed moment, Micky blurts out...
"Somethin' about I'm supposed to milk the chicken."
Later, after miscalling the pig call, chickens come to the Monkees. They can't resist those who love them!
Soon after a fun chicken chase Peter suggests...
"Now, why don't you try the chicken call?"
See, he's telling the world to befriend the groovy chickens!
Micky even shows his adoration for the foul by cheering...
"I got one!"
when he finally gets hold of a cluck.
"Hitting the High Seas":
Davy mentions that he isn't even good enough to be a chicken....
"Chicken? *bawk* *bawk*"- Davy Jones
"The Fairy Tale":
Ahh, the memoriable time where Mike first tells us...
"Remember to save the Texas Prairie Chicken!"
Wise words from a wise, fowl loving man!
"Success Story":
Peter runs around in the airport, donning feathers and screaming...
"Don't fly! Don't fly! If you get too close to the sun, your wings will melt!"
Peter is standing up for our fine feathered friends, because we all know, chickens can't fly.
"Monkees Chow Mein":
During the romp, Micky, Peter and Davy give their Oriental foes chickens as peace offerings.
Make chickens, Not war!
"Monkees Marooned":
When Kimba calls his jungle friends, Peter ends up with a chicken in his arms.
Chickens are everybody's friends!
"The Card Carrying Red Shoes":
Another ode to the foul with our ballerina star sharing her lead in "Chicken Lake" with Micky.
Micky even wears a chicken costume.
At first, he's not sure he wants to be a chicken...
"I don't wanna be a chicken. I don't wanna be a chicken. Ward, I don't wanna be a chicken..."
But, then he wises up and realizes that there are a lot worse things to be and confesses...
"I'm a chicken. I'm a chicken."
"Monkees a la Mode":
During the romp, Davy's got a chicken!
"The Monkees' Paw":
When the Monkees visit a psycholigist, the psych. demands that the ink blot is...
"A BUNNYANDACHICKEN!"
"Monkees on Tour":
When Davy encounters another bird, he is not impressed. During a war of words with a swan, Davy says...
"I've met your type before. You ain't got no wings, you chicken."
"Wild Monkees":
The Monkees fully endorse their allegance to the chicks by announcing that their motorcycle gang will be known as the...Chickens!
"Yes, but how many of your gang can, if fact, lay eggs?!"- Mike
Chickens are special and talented!
"Monkees on the Wheel":
After the show, they play a blooper where Mike just can't seem to say the words "Save the Texas Prairie Chicken!" without laughing.
You see, even thinking about the chickens bring him so much joy, it's hard for him to put it into words!
