More Information

A group of birds of any species is generically known collectively as a flock. For a number of individual birds, there exist poetic collective nouns particular to the type of bird referred to. Many of these collective nouns are fanciful, and not in common use in English.

For chickens: A peep (Poetic) refers to the sound chicks make as they emerge from the shell during hatch, called peeping. The collective noun peep is most commonly used when referring to the chicks in a brooder. Also used is a clutch (fanciful) for the way they group together when alarmed.

Older chickens in a group such as pullets or hens are a flock.

A group of hens sitting on eggs are a brood.
