That needs some explanation.
It's riffing on Westerns. You might see dialogue like that, talking about one cowboy riding another's horse, leading some characters to surmise that something's wrong. In Far Side fashion though, instead of a cowboy, it's a chicken.
something's wrong
What might have gone wrong in that situation in a western? Do the characters assume the cowboys had killed each other or something?
