Answer:

Fowl play

Explanation:

A pun is a joke regarding two words that sound the same. Foul and fowl, a word for poultry, are homonyms. A fowl is any domesticated bird that is kept for its eggs or flesh, while foul means that something is wicked, cruel, or breaks the rule. Normally, someone would say foul play, which means unfair play. But, since he was talking about foul play in relation to the chickens, he used the pun, fowl play.
