The Chicken Festival is a festival in Harvest Moon DS and Harvest Moon DS: Cute. The festival takes place on the beach between 10am and 6pm on the 7th of Summer. On the 6th, Popuri will come to your farmhouse in the morning to ask what chicken you'd like to enter for the contest. If you own a chicken and want to enter, choose a chicken and Popuri will take it for the festival on the following day. Popuri will not take chicks or sick chickens. If you do not own a chicken, Popuri will still encourage you to come watch the festival. If your chicken places first, it's level will increase.
