The sheep, which are four-legged animals, are chanting about how two legs are better.

Explanation:

Orwell uses irony to highlight how the sheep are repeating words that go against their self-interest.

Showing the sheep the new chant of "Four Legs Good, Two Legs Better" is another notice of how the sheep are utilized to solidify the pig control over the ranch. By and by, the sheep don't address anything they are instructed. Their reciting muffles some other voices.
