If the poem is telling others of a caged and pre-determined life, the chicken coup is a good metaphor.
If that is your intention, (I might be way off base here), then I would add more to show that you are one of the chickens, as the "I" in the first stanza is the only clue you are talking metaphorically about yourself, or the lives of others cooped up.
If so we can all relate to that ;-)
Apologies if I am way off ....
