Reel · 4/4 · D dorian

Chickens Are A-Crowin' is a traditional American instrumental tune with no verified composer or specific historical association on record. Played as a lively reel in 4/4 meter, it features the characteristic modal flavor and melodic movement of the D dorian scale. Because its exact geographic origins and early history remain uncertain, musicians typically approach the tune with a driving old-time fiddling style that emphasizes its rhythmic bounce and upbeat character.
