chicken scratch

Incredibly messy handwriting that is nearly impossible to read. Usually the only person who can read it is the person that wrote it. Sometimes not even they can read it after a while. The writing looks like the footprints and/or scratches chickens leave in the dirt hence the name.

"Dude what the fuck did you write here?! I can't read this damn chicken scratch worth shit!"

Really bad hand writing that only the person who wrote it can read it. Most often it just looks like scribbles.
