Behind the scenes

• The title is a combination of American frontiersman Davy Crockett and "cock-a-doodle-do," the onomatopoeia of a rooster's call.
• This is the third and final appearance of Egghead Jr., and his only appearance without his mother, Miss Prissy.
• This cartoon marks the third instance of Foghorn becoming featherless, after Little Boy Boo and The High and the Flighty. He would be featherless again in The Dixie Fryer, a cartoon produced later that year.
• It rarely airs on U.S. television since the 1990s due to the inclusion of Indian rain dance scene, although it did appear uncensored on international Cartoon Network and Boomerang feeds, and in airings on MeTV.
