* SerialEscalation: When the Crosby rooster gains the affection of the hens, the Frankie rooster competes with him over who can get the hens to lay more eggs as they sing. Leading to a ludicrous mountain range of eggs across the farm.
** And at the end, when Porky asks them how they did it, Frankie and Crosby both sing to him and Porky ''lays a mountain of eggs''.
