* Before the credits roll, Nick gets the idea of starting their own chicken farm so they can have all the eggs they want. Fetcher suggests they get a chicken, but Nick insists they get an egg. Of course, this evolves into a conversation of [[https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Chicken_or_the_egg which came first, the chicken or the egg]]. The argument continues over the closing credits until Rocky tells them to stop. The rats comply, but not before calling Rocky a "gitface" and a "pillock".

* After Rocky's deception is revealed and the hens start turning on each other, Fowler tries to restore discipline only to be essentially told to shut it by Bunty. Outraged, Fowler promptly whacks her round the head with his swagger stick, only to immediately regret it and offer an apology ...upon which Bunty [[TalkToTheFist punches him full in the face]] and then [[WrestlerInAllOfUs bodyslams him into the mud]]. The [[OhCrap look of utter horror]] on Fowler's face as Bunty's shadow descends on him is a picture.
** When Ginger stops the fight, Fowler is lying face-down in the mud at the bottom of the heap, which suggests he wasn't even able to get up after Bunty floored him.

* Mrs Tweedy's introduction. We see Mr Tweedy, Ginger and the guard dogs all retracting in fear from the figure who just opened the front door to the farm house. Cut to a pan up of... an unamused housewife in a plush pink dressing gown, slippers and shower cap (although the fact that they're all afraid of her in spite of this quickly establishes just how much of a threat she is).
* The entire bit of [[PaperThinDisguise the fake Mrs Tweedy]] of the opening, from just [[StylisticSuck how pathetic it looks]] to the score changing from a march to a gentle waltz to the guard dogs' dumbfounded expressions.

** Both those 2-seconds parts are shown in the menu screen via the ''Panic Button'', which pretty much shows the chickens freaking out and screaming bloody murder in panic.
* "I don't want to be a pie! ...I don't like gravy."



* Ginger starts blackmailing Rocky into teaching them how to fly while his circus owners are looking for him. She squawks twice, trying to alert them, and then the third time, Rocky grabs her beak and snaps: "Was your father by any chance a ''vulture''?!"
** And there's also Ginger's cheerfully innocent "Fancy that, they're coming this way!" after she starts to draw the circus people over.
** Ginger ironically throws one of Rocky's lines back at him ("It's a cruel world") which leads to this exchange:
--> '''Rocky:''' I just decided: I don't like you.
--> '''Ginger:''' I just decided: I don't care. Now show us how to fly!
-->'''Rocky''': With this wing?!
-->'''Ginger''': ''Teach'' us, then!
-->'''Rocky''': NO!

the shocked question, "You mean you never actually flew the plane?": "Good heavens, no! I'm a chicken! The Royal Air Force doesn't let chickens behind the controls of complex aircraft!"






* A small one when Mrs. Tweedy is ready to begin converting her farm for pie production, and she doubles the feed to fatten the chickens up, she looks on the gluttonous chickens with a wicked grin, and gives Mr. Tweedy a flirtatious pinch on the butt.



* Mr Tweedy spying on the chickens through the window with his binoculars. When Mrs Tweedy gets his attention, he turns around, still holding the binoculars, getting a nice close up of his wife's icy glare.
** When she pounds her fist on the table to get his attention, we get a FreezeFrameBonus of their wedding photo, which features Mrs Tweedy wearing a look of pure disgust next to a nervous Mr Tweedy and a wedding cake with a chicken-shaped topper.



* At the end when the chickens have finally escaped in their 'crate' and Ginger's let Mrs Tweedy drop to her fate, Rocky and Ginger kiss, prompting an "Aww!" from the other chickens... which then quickly becomes hilarious when the crate starts to drop because they stopped pedaling and they all frantically resume doing so. Followed by Fowler berating them for stopping, as no doubt he wasn't aware of the kiss.
