The EGGcited Rooster is a 1952 Merrie Melodies short directed by Robert McKimson.
Plot[]
Foghorn is forced to watch an egg while his wife is out playing cards. Henery Hawk, disguised as an Indian, drops by, and Foghorn asks if someone can relieve him. Foggy is able to get Henery to eggsit for a while, but the little hawk soon becomes impatient. Foghorn gives him a "hen grenade", which Henery places under Barnyard Dawg to hatch. The egg explodes, and Barnyard Dawg seeks revenge by helping Henery steal the egg and then calls Foghorn's wife. The egg changes hands several times; Foghorn's wife comes along and beans him with her rolling pin. As the final injury, Henery scalps Foghorn with his little tomahawk.

- This is the only Henery Hawk short not to be reissued in the 1950s.
