Premise

The show follows Coop, Little Boo and Sweetie – a trio of young chicken siblings and their mentor Captain Tully, a retired search and rescue dog, who use teamwork and critical thinking skills to solve problems and keep the peace in their neighborhood.

If an animal, mostly referred to as a "critter", needs the aid of the Chicken Squad, he/she can summon them through an electronic sounding device. Upon hearing that critter's report, the Chicken Squad head to their headquarters, which is their home actually, where they would don their uniforms, and gather certain equipment.

To get to certain places, the Chicken Squad has a variety of forms of transportation. One of their vehicles is a car, which they won in a basketball tournament. Coop would later build other vehicles such as a motorcycle and a helicopter.

Whenever a character thinks of something, his/her thought bubble can be seen and edited by anyone around.
