Cluck, Cluck, Squeek

I had a dream that I had a flock of half-rat half-chicken mutants that were the size of sheep.
Unfortunately there’s not much more to say about it. I was not their mother. Every week I am supposed to transfer a litter of rat pups from the vivarium to my lab when they’re at the proper age. Last week I was unable to get them due to circumstances mostly beyond my control, and the pups got too big befor e I could get to them. While I was worrying about this, my subconscious decided that not only had they gotten bigger than is actually possible, but also they were half chicken for some reason.
Then I woke up.
