Mother Was a Rooster

Mother Was a Rooster is a 1962 Merrie Melodies cartoon directed by Robert McKimson.
==Summary==
Foghorn Leghorn adopts a baby ostrich and must put up with the teasing of the Barnyard Dawg.
==Plot==
Foghorn Leghorn is sound asleep when the barnyard dog places an ostrich egg beside him for a gag. When Foghorn awakes and sees the egg, he thinks he's its mother! The egg hatches to reveal an easily embarrassed baby ostrich that Foghorn regards as his son. The dog insults the ostrich repeatedly, causing him to bury his head in the ground. So, to protect his son's honor, Foghorn challenges the dog to a boxing match.
==Trivia==
This was the last-released cartoon scored by Milt Franklyn; Bill Lava would take over as composer for Looney Tunes cartoons starting with Good Noose until the cartoon department's closure.
