violence
There is some mild slapstick violence, such as a chicken slapping a rooster.
threat and horror
The chickens realise they are going to be turned into meat if they don't manage to escape from the farm. There are some references to this happening and scenes in which chickens are taken away, with the implication they are going to be slaughtered, although nothing of this is shown. There are also exciting sequences in which the chickens escape from a pie making machine.
language
There is a single comic use of the phrase "thieving little buggers" by a farmer who is talking about his chickens. Other language is very mild, such as uses of 'bloomin' heck'.
sex
Sexual content is limited to some kissing, between animated characters, and some very mild innuendo.
rude humour
There is some very mild rude humour, such as a character saying eggs don't come from heaven but from a chicken's "bum".
alcohol and tobacco
There is sight of a tobacco pipe, although no smoking is shown. There are also comic references to alcohol but again no sight of use.
