Land in the chicken yard (5)
I believe the answer is:
kenya
'land' is the definition.
(Kenya is an example)
'in the chicken yard' is the wordplay.
'in' indicates the answer is hidden within the clue.
'KENYA' is hidden in the letters of 'chicken yard'.
(Other definitions for kenya that I've seen before include "Republic in East Africa" , "East African republic" , "state?" , "Its capital is Nairobi" , "East African country" .)
