Plot
Characters
=Main=
- Chuck (voiced by David Menkin) is a male tall chicken who is the leader of the chicken siblings. He is cool, daring, and wacky. He can be selfish and stubborn when it comes to challenges, but he is a true softie when it comes to his siblings. He is the youngest of the three.
- Finley (voiced by Nick Mohammed and Dash Kruck) 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. 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.
=Recurring=
- Glargg (voiced by Roger Gregg and Damien Garvey) is a Green Alien.
- Niven (voiced by Lynette Callaghan) is a Female Blue Alien.
