I'll use a diagram next to each line for clarity, where C is for chicken, X for fox and F for feed. I'll use o to represent the lake and ! for the farmer.
Initiall as follows: !CFX o
First take the chicken across the lake. FX o !C
When he gets back, take the fox across the lake. F o !XC
Then pick up the chicken again and take it back. !CF o X
Take the feed across the lake. C o !FX
Then take the chicken to the other side. o !CFX
