** Towards the end, we have ''this'' precious little scene; when [[spoiler:Rocky leaves the farm,]] Ginger - the only chicken left who still truly believes escape is possible - finally loses it. Her lifelong dream ''and'' her chance at love having been crushed in one fell swoop, she goes into a {{Heroic BSOD}} and bitterly tells her friends that "Our only way out of here is wrapped in pastry."
** While said mudfight is indeed hilarious, it also shows how much the other chickens depend on Ginger to keep them together. The second she stops acting like their leader, anarchy breaks out.
