The Hick Chick is a 1946 cartoon directed by Tex Avery.
Plot[]
Lem Kadoodlehopper, a country bumpkin rooster, asks his girlfriend, a hen named Daisy, to marry him. Just as Daisy is about to answer, Charles, an urbane French rooster who spotted Daisy from afar, swoops in to try to sweep her off her claws. It becomes a fight between city ways and country ways to win Daisy's heart and wingtip, with an ornery bull and dog thrown into the mix. This feud between city and country could last for at least another generation.

Notes[]
- Lem was originally meant to be voiced by Kent Rogers, who was killed during his service in World War II before the production of the cartoon.[5]
- Lem would later reappear in the deleted scene in the 1988 Touchstone/Disney film Who Framed Roger Rabbit.[6]
- The Bull in the short somewhat resembles Screwy Squirrel's color scheme.
