Possible Feminist Message?

Pretty Close.....What about Nick and Fetcher, Mr Tweedy (by the way does anybody know the Tweedy's first names?) The guy from the circus and even though you don't see him or them, the guy that delivers the boxes with the pie making machine. You are basically right. Girl to boy ratio 50 women(chickens) to 1 men(Roosters). Nice catch there

Any sort of message would have made this film less fun, so I'm perfectly happy that the filmmakers cut down any possible feminist message by making all the female characters blithering ditzes. (With the exception of Ginger and Mrs. Tweedy, of course!) They aren't as stupid as real hens, but they're close!

Really, I adore seeing all these prison-camp-movie cliches acted out by silly females. It's like the opposite of drag.

Erm... it's a laying farm. Male chickens don't lay eggs, so most places'll only have one cockerel to wake them up in the morning, or for reproductive purposes, but it'll be almost entirely female.


I'm anespeptic, frasmotic, even compunctuous to have caused you such pericumbobulations...

It's not really "feminism". On most chicken farms, the majority are hens, as they're needed for eggs. There's usually just one or two roosters present to watch over and mate with the hens. Most of the time, that's all that are needed, especially since roosters can be rather aggressive and territorial, and might kill each other if there are too many in one coop.

The thinking's a bit askew here.

How does the fact that most of the characters are female make the film feminist?



You might very well think that. I couldn't possibly comment.

I live on a farm and take care of chickens, so let me explain this very simply
When a mummy chicken and a daddy chicken love each other very much, they make little baby chickens. Having one rooster to something like 50 hens is just common sense to prevent being swamped by fluffy little cheepers.
Secondly, as another user has said, the entire farm is based around selling eggs that the chickens lay. And simple biology tells us that hens, FEMALE chickens, lay eggs. Roosters, MALE chickens, do not.

Alright, listen up, because I live and work on an egg-farm owned by my family.
Female chickens are the only ones who can lay eggs. If you have an egg-farm and you want to turn any kind of profit, you'll stock that thing to hell and back with female chickens, and maybe one rooster or two so they can breed with some of the hens to give you a healthy stock of chicks.

This isn't a 'feminist' message, this is the movie using logic.

because most characters are female, this means it's about feminism ?

maybe a little and so what ? i don't get where the problem is ?

making a point of it, prove that we are still far behind in the matter of equality

the day that everyone will be treated equally and no more gender specific task, (a woman can change a tire and a man can raise a child) they will delete the word feminisn from the dictionnary
