He is the youngest of the three.
- Finley (voiced by Nick Mohammed) is a male short chicken who is the brains of the chicken siblings. He is smart, inquisitive and mostly calm-mannered. But he can become short-tempered when no one (especially his brother and sister) describes his ideas as good ideas. İn The Good, The Bad and The Clucky, it was revealed that he used to be one of the Scouts from Slurp, a little cowboys camp along with Chuck, Ainta and Hugo. He is the oldest of the three.
- Starley (voiced by Laura Aikman) is a female chicken who is the loving one of the siblings. Being the middle sister, Starley always looks after her brothers and defends them no matter what. She also has born super-strength. İn Sweet little Puff-Cloud, it was revealed that Starley has won the Cuddlebug contest when she was a chick.
