Rustic American in chicken farming (4)
I believe the answer is:
hick
'rustic' is the definition.
(I know that hick is a type of rustic)
'in chicken farming' is the wordplay.
'in' says the answer is hidden in the clue.
'HICK' is hidden within 'chicken farming'.
'american' acts as a link.
I am not very happy about this link. It may belong to another bit of the clue.
Can you help me to learn more?
(Other definitions for hick that I've seen before include "Yokel (American)" , "Bumpkin" .)
