... chickens, bats and man out of sorts (7)

Ross

I believe the answer is:

bantams

'chickens' is the definition.
(bantam is a kind of chicken)

'bats and man out of sorts' is the wordplay.
'and' says to put letters next to each other.
'out of sorts' indicates anagramming the letters (not its usual self).
'bats' put after 'man' is 'manbats'.
'manbats' anagrammed gives 'BANTAMS'.
