Trivia
This cartoon marks a change in Daffy Duck's personality, from being a "screwball" type, to a greedy, self-centered type, although a bit of his old personality still remains here.

Quotes
Daffy Duck: Five dollars for the best duck? You mean I came all the way from Dubuque for a measly five bucks? Five thousand dollars for the best rooster? Why, they can't do this to me! It's uncostitutional! It's... it's... Brother, could I use five thousand smackereenees. Hey, there must be a way. There must be.

"Alright, seagull, are you comin' with me quietly or do I have to slap you around some?"

Fun Chuck Jones short with Daffy squaring off against Henery Hawk and his father. Daffy tries to impersonate a chicken to win a contest and winds up in danger of being dinner for the two chicken hawks. It's a funny pairing with Daffy and characters he doesn't typically interact with. When we think of Henery we normally think of the classic Foghorn Leghorn shorts he was in. But he and Daffy play well off each other here quite well. Wonderful animation with well-drawn characters and backgrounds. Lovely bright Technicolor is always a plus in my book. The music is whimsical and upbeat. Exceptional voice work from Mel Blanc. A well-paced cartoon with lots of laughs and a great ending.
