Chicken in the Cradle (Teen Titans Go!)

Plot
Beast Boy neglects all his responsibilities, leaving the other Titans to raise his baby chick.

Why It Sucks

 * 1) Firstly, the episode is a cautionary tale about the dangers of teen pregnancy. Teen Pregnancy? Yes, it is a real thing but this is a show aimed at children so this makes the message all the more inappropriate for the target audience.
 * 2) Also, this episode is basically the Family Guy episode "Stewie is Enciente" because both episodes are not just about male pregnancy but also a minor getting pregnant. Except Beast Boy wasn't pregnant but laid an egg that hatched in a chick. This is disturbing within itself. And to make matters worse, this episode spawned from a joke in a previous episode.
 * 3) Plot Hole: How was Beast Boy able to lay a fertile egg as a hen without having a rooster to fertilize it?
 * 4) Robin tries to remind Beast Boy about responsibility but given the main plot, it's bad way to execute it. Going back to the episode's metaphor, teen pregnancy is very serious and often causes emotional issues for the teen mother because they're teenagers, they're too young to raise children.
 * 5) Beast Boy fooling around is stupid.
 * 6) The Titans calling out Beast Boy for being a bad father and while it's understandable, the writers forgot that BEAST BOY IS STILL A CHILD, it's normal for Beast Boy to goof off.
 * 7) The chick grows into a troubled rooster and hangs out with "bad eggs" which are literal rotten eggs, which is pretty dumb.

Redeeming Qualities

 * 1) Although the episode botched it, it did try to teach a good moral, responsibility.
 * 2) Good Ending: The Titans congratulate Beast Boy for being a good father but it turns out they were joking about fried chicken.
 * 3) The montage with the Titans raising the baby chick is cute.
 * 4) Beast Boy trying to reconcile with his son was fun to watch.

Reception
